Seated Shepherd Boys

François Boucher after Abraham Bloemaert

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two individuals seated on the ground. The first individual, on the left, is facing slightly away and has their legs bent. The second individual, on the right, is seated with one leg stretched out and the other drawn up. Both individuals have medium-length hair and are wearing loose garments with wide-brimmed hats. The person on the right is holding a long staff. There are round objects near them that could be bags or canteens. In the background, there are sketched foliage or bushes. The drawing is monochrome with fine lines and shading.
