"A Shepherd on the South Downs" is an oil painting by the English artist John Charles Dollman, created in 1902. The work is a pastoral scene depicting a shepherd amidst the rolling hills of the South Downs, a range of chalk hills that extend across the southeastern coastal counties of England. Dollman, known for his genre scenes as well as his work on subjects from Norse mythology and British history, captures the tranquil essence of rural life at the turn of the 20th century.

The painting is characterized by its serene atmosphere and the use of light to convey the time of day, likely the golden hour of late afternoon. The shepherd is typically shown with his flock, embodying the timeless relationship between man and nature. The South Downs, with their distinctive landscape, provide a quintessentially English backdrop, evoking a sense of place and the agricultural heritage of the region.

Dollman's attention to detail and his ability to render the textures of the natural world, from the wool of the sheep to the grasses of the downs, demonstrate his skill as a painter. "A Shepherd on the South Downs" is a fine example of Dollman's work and contributes to the visual record of England's rural past, reflecting the artist's interest in the lives of ordinary people and their connection to the land.

The painting is part of a larger body of work by Dollman that explores similar themes and is notable for its contribution to the genre of British landscape and pastoral painting. While not as widely known as some of his contemporaries, Dollman's work, including "A Shepherd on the South Downs," is appreciated for its artistic merit and historical value. The painting is held in private collections or museums, and it has been exhibited in art galleries that focus on British art from the period.
