"The Young Shepherdess" is an 18th-century oil painting by the British artist Henry Robert Morland (1716–1797). Known for his genre paintings and portraits, Morland depicted scenes of everyday life with a particular focus on the English countryside and its inhabitants. "The Young Shepherdess" exemplifies Morland's interest in pastoral themes and his ability to capture the idyllic charm of rural life.

The painting portrays a young girl in shepherd's attire, watching over her flock. She is often depicted with a crook, the traditional shepherd's staff, and surrounded by a bucolic landscape that evokes a sense of peace and simplicity. The subject's attire and the inclusion of sheep suggest a romanticized view of shepherding, which was a common trope in the pastoral genre. Morland's attention to detail in the rendering of the shepherdess's features and clothing, as well as the naturalistic depiction of the landscape and animals, are indicative of his artistic style.

"The Young Shepherdess" is notable for its representation of innocence and the idealization of rural life, themes that were popular in the art and literature of the period. Morland's work reflects the broader cultural fascination with nature and the countryside that characterized the 18th century, particularly among the urban elite who idealized the simplicity of pastoral existence.

While the exact date of creation for "The Young Shepherdess" is not well-documented, it is consistent with Morland's body of work from the mid-to-late 18th century. The painting is part of a tradition of pastoral art that includes the works of other British artists such as George Morland, Henry Robert Morland's more famous son, who also explored similar themes in his paintings.

"The Young Shepherdess" has been appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and as an example of Henry Robert Morland's contribution to the genre of pastoral painting. The work is held in private collections and has been exhibited in art galleries that specialize in 18th-century British art. It continues to be studied by art historians interested in the period and is recognized for its place within the context of Henry Robert Morland's oeuvre and the broader genre of pastoral art.
