"Shepherdess" is a charcoal drawing created by American artist Winslow Homer around 1878. The drawing depicts a young woman, dressed in a simple yet detailed outfit, standing with a shepherd's crook in hand. The figure's gaze is directed to the side, suggesting a sense of contemplation or quiet observation. Though unfinished, Homer captures the subject with a naturalistic and intimate touch, highlighting her rustic attire and graceful posture. This drawing exemplifies Homer's early interest in everyday life and the figure, which he would further develop in his later career.
