The Huntress

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a pastoral scene with a woman standing at the center, holding a staff and a distaff. Dogs are shown in motion nearby, with a fence running horizontally in front of them. Beyond the fence, sheep are grazing in a landscape of rolling hills with trees. In the distance, there are hills or small mountains under a cloudy sky. The illustration is detailed with cross-hatching and fine lines, giving it a monochromatic appearance in sepia tones.
