Conrad Buff (1886-1975) Untitled, n.d. Oil on board Board: 18” x 24” Frame: 23.5” x 29.5”
Signed Lower Right: CONRAD BUFF
At the center of this landscape, a woman stands with a small herd of sheep. Most of the herd find solace in the shade of a tree, but one stays by the woman and eats from the palm of her hand. A small structure sits to the far right of the scene and just outside sits two small figures. The land extends far and flat, with a large rock formation in the distance. The sky is muted and washed out, hardly blue at all.
