A Pastoral Journey with a Child in a Basket on Horseback

Gaetano Zompini, after Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a pastoral scene with people and animals depicted through etching. The viewpoint is slightly elevated, offering an overview of the scene. A group of sheep is being herded in the foreground, with detailed textures. In the center, a figure rides a donkey carrying baskets, alongside a leading figure gesturing. The background features hills, mountains, and trees. The etching uses shades of brown for depth and contrast.
