The Shepherd and the Shepherdess

Charles François Daubigny

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of a forest scene. A dirt path runs along the left side, curving into the background. Trees line the path and continue into the distance. The trees have thin trunks and are densely covered with leaves. The foreground features a man and a woman sitting on the ground. The man wears a wide-brimmed hat and faces the woman. She also wears a hat and faces the man. Three sheep are present, two grazing on the left and one near the pair. The overall atmosphere suggests a rural setting. The artist's style emphasizes detailed line work. The title is The Shepherd and the Shepherdess by Charles François Daubigny.
