Shepherds and Shepherdesses by Conrad Martin Metz: A sepia-toned drawing depicting five people and two sheep in a natural setting. Three women are on the right and two men on the left. The woman on the right sits on a rock, wearing a draped garment, her left arm bent at the elbow with her hand resting on her chin. The woman in the middle sits with her right arm extended towards the sheep. She and the seated woman wear their hair in short, curly styles. The woman on the left has her hair pulled back and wears a short, draped garment, holding a shepherd's staff. A man with short hair, wearing a collared shirt and pants, stands beside her. A man with short curly hair sits on the left. Two sheep are in the foreground. Trees and foliage fill the background.
