Presentation :

Aerial view of the Crau sheepfolds. The drawing is in landscape format. It is organized within a frame drawn in ink. Traces of watercolor and inscriptions are visible in the margins.
The sheepfold stands in the middle of the drawing. It consists of a vast stone building covered with a sagne roof. The sheep are herded in front of the building, not far from a well. In the distance, another identical sheepfold can be seen.
