1891
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Shepherdess is a 1891 by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a shepherdess, her head turned to the right, as she sits on a rocky outcropping. She wears a long-sleeved dress with a plaid pattern and a dark skirt. The background is a hilly landscape with trees and a cloudy sky. The shepherdess appears to be looking out at something in the distance, her expression calm and contemplative. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the scene. The Cleveland Museum of Art holds this work, showcasing the artist's skill in capturing everyday life and the natural world.
