Johann Heinrich Roos Shepherding (series) is a 1665 by Johann Heinrich Roos, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a black-and-white etching of a boy sitting on a rock. He’s holding a staff in one hand and a sheep in the other, looking down at it. Behind him, trees and a fence stretch into the distance, and the whole scene is framed by a decorative border. The text at the top reads like a title, but it’s in French and a bit faded. The artist’s name, *J.H. Roos*, is signed in the corner, along with the year *MDCLXV* (1665). If you like this, check out Baroque art next—it’s full of dramatic scenes like this one.
