About the piece
Painted by Édouard Vimont around 1875, this oil sketch portrays Saint Genevieve in her traditional guise as a shepherdess. Seated in a moment of quiet reflection beneath a sturdy tree, she is accompanied by sheep resting in the soft light of a rolling countryside. The work's earthy tones and painterly brushwork capture a sense of timeless devotion and pastoral peace.
