Nai Tong adds a touch of romance to his shepherd themed paintings. One of the most exquisite set of paintings by Nai Tong to be offered, this set features a pair of lovers walking across the fields with a herd of goats. The closeness of the pair and their admiration of each other are felt, symbolising love, faith, and understanding.
