Stefano Della Bella

National Gallery of Art

This illustration depicts a pastoral scene with a woman riding a donkey surrounded by sheep and goats. Another figure, likely a shepherd, is seen guiding more animals in the distance. The detailed linework emphasizes textures and depth, with a monochromatic color palette. Trees with thick foliage are visible on the far right, enhancing the rural landscape.
