"Shepherdess" is an evocative painting by the Dutch artist Anton Mauve, a leading figure of the Hague School, known for his pastoral scenes and realistic depictions of rural life in the Netherlands during the 19th century. The painting portrays a young shepherdess tending to her flock in a serene, natural landscape, which is a common theme in Mauve's oeuvre. The work is characterized by its subtle use of color and light, capturing the tranquil atmosphere of the countryside and reflecting the artist's fascination with the harmonious relationship between humans and nature.

Anton Mauve (1838–1888) was a master of tonal subtlety and is often credited with influencing his cousin-in-law, Vincent van Gogh, particularly in the use of color and the depiction of peasant life. In "Shepherdess," Mauve's skillful brushwork and attention to detail are evident, from the texture of the sheep's wool to the gentle expression of the shepherdess, creating a sense of quietude and bucolic beauty. The painting is a fine example of Mauve's contribution to the development of Realism in Dutch art, as well as his ability to convey mood and emotion through landscape and genre painting.

The exact date of creation for "Shepherdess" is not specified, but it falls within the period of Mauve's mature work, when he had established a reputation for his landscapes and animal scenes. The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as a representation of the pastoral genre that was prevalent among the Hague School artists. It remains an important work in the study of Dutch art history and continues to be appreciated for its quiet beauty and the skillful depiction of rural life in the 19th century.
