Shepherd with Walking Stick and a Peasant Woman with Child 1758 - 1759

This etching by Francesco Londonio, dating to 1758–59, depicts a shepherd with a walking stick and a goat, a peasant woman carrying a child, and a second peasant in the background. The figures are depicted in a naturalistic style, and the image is characterized by Londonio's meticulous attention to detail. The etching's soft, tonal qualities are achieved through the use of cross-hatching. Londonio's works often depicted scenes from everyday life, offering viewers a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people during the 18th century.
