Goatherd on the Rock of Gibralter | Richard Ansdell | 1871

"Goatherd on the Rock of Gibraltar" by Richard Ansdell, created around 1871, is a detailed and vivid oil painting. It portrays a pastoral scene set on the rugged cliffs of Gibraltar. Central to the composition is a young woman riding a white donkey, with baskets attached to its sides carrying young goats. Surrounding her is a flock of goats, some standing on the rocky path while others graze or look towards the viewer. The background reveals a misty, mountainous landscape with a serene view of the sea, creating a contrast between the rocky terrain and the calm waters. The woman's attire and the detailed rendering of the animals reflect the realism and skill of the artist, capturing a moment of rural life with a sense of tranquility and natural beauty.
