"The Keeper of Goats" is a painting by French artist Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, known for his symbolist and classical style. This painting depicts a woman holding a young child, both standing by a rocky outcrop and looking up at an apple tree with one hand reaching for a fruit. The scene evokes a sense of serenity and contemplation, suggesting themes of motherhood, innocence, and connection to nature. The soft, muted palette and elongated figures are characteristic of Chavannes' work, creating a timeless and dreamlike atmosphere.
