This print shows a woman kneeling in a grassy field, holding a baby close. Her head is wrapped in a cloth, and she wears a loose, flowing dress. A rabbit sits nearby, and the sky above is dark with swirling clouds. The title *La Zingana* hints at a story—this print copies an older painting by Correggio. The soft lighting and gentle curves give it a dreamy feel. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
