Shepherd Playing Flute

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image is a side view of a pastoral scene. A shepherd stands to the right with a staff and musical pipe. A dog is beside him. In the distance, sheep graze. A structure is visible on a hill to the left. The landscape is depicted using fine lines and cross-hatching techniques in a monochromatic color palette.
