Sleeping Shepherd Boy and Woman with a Child

Francesco Londonio

National Gallery of Art

A man is sitting against a tree, seemingly asleep. Next to him, a woman holds a basket and gestures. A boy is beside the man, looking at the woman, while a goat is near the woman. In the distance, a man rides a donkey surrounded by sheep and a cow. The landscape includes trees and rolling hills, giving depth. The image is monochrome, with detailed brushstrokes depicting foliage and clothing, creating an engraving style. The scene is serene and rustic, with a soft backdrop of trees enclosing the figures in pastoral activity.
