Oil on canvas. The large scene, set in a hilly countryside, with a village and ruins in the background on the left, is completely occupied by the compact group of numerous living figures: the shepherd's family is sitting in the center, observing the companion who is holding the baby in swaddling clothes in her arms; around them, the animals, from the faithful sheepdog to the beasts of the flock, sheep, goats and cows, are also resting. The great naturalism of the animal figures stands out, which refers, as a pictorial modality, to the works of the school of Philipp Peter Roos, known as Rosa da Tivoli (1657-1706), the German painter considered one of the best animal painters active in Italy in the 17th century, characterized by the peculiar ability to evoke the fleece and the gazes of the animals. The work, restored and relined, is presented in a gilded frame in style.
