La Bergerie

Benjamin-Louis-Auguste Damman

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black-and-white drawing titled "La Bergerie" by Benjamin-Louis-Auguste Damman. The scene shows a woman standing in a field with a flock of sheep. The woman wears a long dress and a shawl over her head and shoulders, and holds a shepherd's staff in her right hand. She looks down at her chest. The flock of sheep grazes around her, with one lamb in the foreground and a dog standing behind the flock. In the background, a cloudy sky and a distant line of trees are visible. The drawing is rendered in a detailed, realistic style. The image has a light-brown border around the edges. The mood is serene and rustic.
