Menina acompanhada de um cordeiro
1735 - 1815
Imagine a stroll through the French countryside in the late 1700s, where simplicity was the ultimate fashion statement. This sketch captures that vibe perfectly with a young girl leading a lamb, basket of flowers in hand, while a church steeple watches over them from the trees. It’s a classic Neoclassical pastoral scene, celebrating rural innocence as an antidote to the overly fancy art of the time. What makes it extra cool is that Guillaume Boichot was actually a sculptor, so this drawing is a rare peek into his 2D skills, perhaps a study for a statue of a shepherdess.
