This scene is from the Bedford Breviary, created in France ca. 1424-35, and currently located at the Bibliotheque Nationale Paris (MS. Lat. 17294, F. 56 v). (I'm not certain whether the name indicates a connection with the workshop that produced the Bedford Hours.) The shepherd occurs in the background and is rather indistinct with only a vague indication of a crescent-shaped pouch.
