A Seated Shepherdess

Jules Dupré

Cleveland Museum of Art

A woman wearing a long dress and a headscarf sits on a surface, holding a long thin object with both hands, possibly a stick or a shepherd's staff. The woman is positioned centrally in the image. Her body faces right and her head faces forward. She has short hair. The background shows a flat landscape with shades of brown and gray, possibly a field or a beach, and a light-colored sky with horizontal lines. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of brown, gray, and white. The artwork, "A Seated Shepherdess", is by Jules Dupré.
