The Large Shepherdess (La grande bergere)

Millet, Daubigny en Barbizon, 1862

The image shows a pastoral scene with a high-angle view of the landscape. A lone figure stands in the foreground with a staff, while a herd of sheep grazes in the distance. The horizon is defined by trees and shrubs, creating depth. The style features intricate line work typical of etching, with detailed strokes for texture. The color palette is sepia, giving a vintage look to the image.
