Woman Holding a Little Shepherd by the Hand
1735 - 1814
Guillaume Boichot captures a tender Neoclassical moment here, showing a woman in flowing robes guiding a young shepherd boy who clutches a ribboned staff. She points forward with authority while a small dog looks up expectantly at her feet, adding a touch of everyday life to the scene. The visible 'Carnavalet' stamp indicates this piece belongs to the Musée Carnavalet in Paris, the museum dedicated to the history of the city.
