Portrait of a Lady as a Shepherdess
About the Item
Oil on oak panel
Image size: 18 x 17 inches (45.5 x 43.5 cm)
Period style frame
This painting is a half-length portrait of a lady in the guise of a shepherdess. She is holding a houlette (or a baton de berger), the traditional attribute of a shepherd or shepherdess.
She is depicted standing before a landscape that features another shepherd and a flock of sheep, however, there is little in her demeanour that suggests that she is actually concerned with the fate of these animals. Also, her dress, while elegant, is impractical and hardly appropriate for the rigours of country life.
The romantic fantasy of shepherds and shepherdesses living in the wilds of Arcadia in Greece was a favoured theme in ancient poetry and was revived from the 16th century onwards in Renaissance Italy and the Netherlands. The fascination with pastoral ideals stayed current among nobles and the elite at the Dutch court in The Hague in the 17th century. In art and literature there was a tendency to dwell on the innocence of the rustic way of life and shepherdesses often were seen as emblematic figures of complete virtue.
