Shepherd from Lori is a 1905 oil by Panos Terlemezyan, a Post-Impressionism work, depicting boy, held at National Gallery of Armenia.
This painting shows a young shepherd sitting on a red blanket, holding a dagger in his right hand. He wears a dark jacket over a light blue shirt with a yellow tie. The background is dark, with a hint of light on the left side. The shepherd's expression is serious, and his posture suggests he is resting but still alert. The dagger he holds adds a sense of tension to the scene. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts of light and dark to create a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects and figures, look up Panos Terlemezyan.
