The Wounded Shepherd
No. 3 (wax, oil pastel, 14"x18"; private collection; available in prints and note cards) |
|
| This third version in the Wounded Shepherd series portrays an even older shepherd of another kind of flock than the shepherd in series 2. He or she wears a stole around the neck and appears to be wearing vestments with a design on the front which resembles a shepherd carrying a lamb. This "shepherd" bends forward with difficulty and has a cast covering much of his right arm and hand. In his left hand he reverently holds the Bible. | ||
