Little Shepherd of the Wild

2014

In nostalgic monochrome, a pensive child, clad in overalls, tenderly observes a cluster of ducklings. The scene, bathed in a gentle light, evokes a sense of bucolic innocence and a delicate communion with nature.

Reading the Work

Little Shepherd of the Wild captures the purity and vulnerability of childhood, reminiscent of Robert Doisneau's photographs but with a more contemplative intimacy. The work explores the theme of the relationship between humanity and nature through the eyes of a child, a recurring motif in Riba's oeuvre, which here is imbued with a potent emotional charge.
