Heilige Genoveva van Parijs als herderin 1829

Etienne Charles Pointurier's 1829 lithograph, "Heilige Genoveva van Parijs als herderin," depicts Saint Genevieve of Paris kneeling in prayer as a shepherdess. The figure of the saint is prominent in the composition and is shown surrounded by sheep and a shepherd’s crook. The dramatic use of light and shadow creates a sense of reverence and spirituality, typical of the Romantic art movement. The work is a fine example of the artist's ability to combine religious themes with realistic details, creating a moving and thought-provoking image.
