Sheep Grazing in the Dunes, on an Italian Coast is one of Corbet’s typical Etruscan landscapes. A flock of sheep is shown grazing on the scrubby vegetation of sand dunes along the coast of the Mediterranean. A rainstorm is seen approaching to the right and the distant mountains appear hazy due to the misty conditions of the sky.
