Shepherdess

Winslow Homer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white sketch titled "Shepherdess" by Winslow Homer. The woman in the sketch is standing and looking to her left. She is wearing a hat with a ribbon, a short-sleeved top with buttons, and a long skirt with vertical lines. The woman is holding a shepherd's crook in her right hand, with her left arm crossed over her body. The background of the sketch is a light beige color with darker spots and marks, possibly indicating age or wear on the paper. The woman's attire includes a ruffled trim on her sleeves and skirt. Her hair is pulled back underneath her hat. The overall appearance of the sketch suggests it was created with pencil or charcoal.
