Kneeling Shepherd 

Jacopo Ligozzi’s *Kneeling Shepherd* is a brown ink drawing on paper. The drawing depicts a shepherd in profile, kneeling with his hand on his chest and holding a lamb in his other hand. The shepherd appears to be wearing a long tunic and a headdress. The gridded background suggests this was a preliminary study for a larger painting. Ligozzi was known for his detailed anatomical drawings of animals and humans, which influenced his work in natural history illustration.
