Description
Title: Welch Shepherd / L.S. del. / I. Clark direx. Edinburgh Published by A. Constable & Co. Jany, 1815
Description: Man and dog. The man is wearing a felt hat, jacket with loose sleeves and many buttons, breeches, striped stockings and shoes.
Note: This is one of the few known prints of a Welsh man. His clothing (especially the apparent patch at the elbow of his left arm) suggests that he was poor, but it was (and still is) not unusual for a shepherd to wear old clothes when working.
Note: The same artist also published a print of 'Welsh Beggar Woman' and ‘Welch Girl’
