Michele Catti - Palermo 1855-1914 - Countryside with a Shepherdess and Her Sheep. Oil on canvas mounted on wood, dating to the painter's naturalist period, between 1880 and 1890. The unmistakable technique of depicting autumnal branches in a melancholic atmosphere is evident, with the true subject of the landscape being the tree struck by lightning at the center of the scene.
