Shepherd with a Sack Driving a Flock 1763

"Shepherd with a Sack Driving a Flock" is an etching created by Francesco Londonio in 1763. The image depicts a shepherd, with a sack over his shoulder, leading a large flock of sheep and goats along a path. The shepherd is in the foreground, while the sheep and goats are in the background, some of them drinking from a small stream. Londonio, known for his pastoral scenes, captures the rural Italian landscape and the daily life of a shepherd. This etching is a fine example of the artist's skill in capturing the natural world and the intimate relationship between humans and animals.
