Boy on a Donkey Driving a Flock 1763

Francesco Londonio’s 1763 etching, *Boy on a Donkey Driving a Flock*, depicts a young shepherd herding a flock of sheep with the help of a donkey. The scene is a pastoral one, with the boy riding on the donkey's back as it leads the sheep along a winding path. Londonio’s attention to detail is evident in the realistic depiction of the animals, including the boy’s clothing, the donkey’s harness and the sheep's fleece. The etching provides a glimpse into the daily life of a shepherd in the 18th century and is a testament to Londonio's skill as a printmaker.
