Shepherd Speaking to a Peasant Woman

Francesco Londonio

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two full-body figures and a donkey. On the left, a person is reclining on the donkey. This person wears a hat and has a broad smile. They wear a long-sleeved shirt and pants. To the right, a woman stands with her back to the viewer, wearing a dress, headscarf, and balancing a basket on her head containing a bird. There is a ladder, a stone wall, a small window in the background, and grass and plants in the foreground. The scene is set against a stone building.
