Seated Shepherdess with Three Rams is a 1762 ink by Francesco Londonio, a Romanticism work, depicting Sheep, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a woman sitting with three sheep. She's dressed in simple clothes and the sheep are close to her. The woman seems calm and the sheep seem to be listening to her, which is a nice detail. The artist used a technique to make the picture look soft and gentle. The blue paper helps to create a quiet mood. You can learn more about this technique by looking up "etching".
Francesco Londonio (1723–1783) was an Italian painter, engraver, and scenographer, active mainly in his native Milan in a late-Baroque or Rococo style.
