About the piece
Painted around 1665 by John Greenhill, this oil portrait captures a lady in the guise of a shepherdess, a popular allegorical style in 17th-century European art. Dressed in shimmering silks and adorned with pearls, she is depicted alongside a sheep against a backdrop of a rugged, atmospheric landscape, perfectly balancing courtly refinement with rustic charm.
