About the piece
Painted around 1780, this delightful portrait by George Romney captures a young girl in the guise of Little Bo-Peep. Dressed in a flowing white gown and an elegant hat, she holds a wooden crook while two sheep rest beside her in a soft, atmospheric landscape. Romney's masterful use of light and color creates a tender, timeless quality, making this a quintessential example of late 18th-century English portraiture.
