Standing Shepherd

Francesco Londonio

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a pastoral scene with sheep. Three sheep are in the foreground, one standing and two lying down, surrounded by foliage. In the background, a person in rustic attire holds a staff. Behind them, there is a figure on horseback in a faint landscape. The drawing uses shading and line work to create texture and depth.
