Title

Baghdad Flooding (Al Rassam 5)

Subject

Landscape with sheep

Description

Presented here is a pastoral scene with the representation of rural culture. A herd of sheep travel along a dirt road in the midst of an expansive landscape. In the deep background, a sprawling metropolis can be faintly scene. Yet, within this slow rural world of tranquil beauty, the city life seems all the more distant.
