A lively and animated painting of shepherds and sheep by the great mountain painter Giuseppe Gheduzzi (1889-1957). A beautiful, fresh painting with lovely light. It captures the moment and the rural mountain life very well. The painting demonstrates great self-assurance, probably from the 1940s. The work is titled on the back "uscita dall ovile" (exiting the sheepfold). Oil on wood, 21 x 31 cm, frame 46 x 54 cm. Signed lower right and on the back.
