At Fowl House Farm in Witley, the serene countryside comes alive with the presence of a herdman. Surrounded by children and accompanied by a loyal shepherd, he tends to his flock of sheep nearby. The scene resembles an idyllic painting from "The Lamb" series created in 1789, where hand-coloured relief-etching and watercolour bring forth the beauty of rural life. In contrast, another artwork portrays a poignant moment as we witness the herdman weeping on a tomb dedicated to a gnat. Painted in 1808 with meticulous oil strokes on canvas, this piece titled "A Shepherd Weeping on a Tomb Erected to a Gnat" evokes deep emotions that transcend our understanding. Moving forward through time, we encounter diverse representations of herdmen. From Fall/Harlequin Pinscher capturing their playful interaction to "The Frozen Sheepherder" freezing moments onto canvas in 1900 with skillful brushstrokes depicting harsh winter conditions. "The Shepherdess; La Bergere, " an oil masterpiece on canvas, showcases the grace and strength possessed by these caretakers of nature's woolly creatures. Their dedication is further highlighted in "Shepherdess, " rendered delicately using charcoal on paper laid down on board in 1877. Religious themes intertwine with pastoral scenes as seen in "The Nativity with the Adoration of Magi and Shepherds. " This depiction transports us back to biblical times when shepherds played an integral role during significant events. Amongst rolling hills lies Sheep Lane near Woburn, Bedfordshire—a picturesque landscape captured effortlessly through pencil and watercolour techniques. The tranquility emanating from this artwork invites us into its peaceful ambiance. Lastly, women join the ranks as they take up herding duties too.
