A Shepherdess with a Dog
1685
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
A Shepherdess with a Dog is a 1685 by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This photo shows a woman sitting outdoors, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a flowing dress. She holds a small dog on a leash with one hand while resting the other on her knee. Behind her, a dark, shadowy forest stretches into the distance, and a bust of a woman appears on a pedestal to the right. The lighting is dramatic, with strong contrasts between light and dark areas. This effect makes the woman’s face and hands stand out clearly. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how this lighting technique works.
