Title Page: Shepherd Petting his Dog 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, petting a dog. The boy looks relaxed, with one arm around the dog’s neck. Behind him, trees and a bridge stretch into the distance. The image is framed by a decorative border with text in French. The title at the top reads *Shepherd Petting his Dog*, and the artist’s name, *J.H. Roos*, is signed below. The year *1665* is also noted. Next, check out Baroque to see how this style used drama and everyday scenes.
