It is one of the very first works by Ligabue, attentive to the attitude and typology of the animals, less interested in the perspective construction, resolved with a paint in broad strokes, except for the expressionistic tangling of the leaves and branches of the tree behind to the shepherd playing the flute, a theme that will return with different solutions in other works by Ligabue and the comparison between the different solutions allows us to highlight an artistic evolution that is also an evolution of poetic sensibility. The very ancient theme comes from Ligabue revitalized and brought to life. The iconography is extremely stereotyped and can be found in a long series of works not only Central European, but also Italian, derived from a popular tradition, which has made its own by simplifying them, motifs of cultured art, precisely such as that of the musician shepherd.
