About this work

This painting shows a simple, flat figure with dark hair and a calm face. The person is holding a small, white sheep close to their chest. Bright orange flowers with green leaves surround them, set against a pale blue background. The colors are bold and flat, with no shading. The figure looks like a religious symbol, possibly a saint with a lamb. The style is very basic, with clean lines and no detail in the background. Next, look up roundel to see how circles and patterns like this were used in art.
