"Shepherdess Returning With Her Flock" is an oil painting by French artist Jean-François Millet, completed in 1863. This work is one of Millet's many depictions of peasant life, a theme that he explored throughout his career, highlighting the dignity and toil of rural laborers. The painting portrays a shepherdess, a recurring figure in Millet's work, guiding her flock of sheep back home during dusk. The composition emphasizes the vast, open landscape, with the shepherdess and her flock positioned against a backdrop of a setting sun, which casts a warm glow that contrasts with the cool shadows of the foreground.

This painting is exemplary of the Barbizon school, a movement with which Millet was closely associated. This school focused on realism and nature, reacting against the dominant Romantic and Neoclassical styles of the time. "Shepherdess Returning With Her Flock" reflects Millet's interest in naturalism and his mastery in capturing the subtle effects of light on the landscape, which also serves to evoke a sense of time and place.

The work is noted for its profound influence on later artists, particularly the Impressionists, who were inspired by Millet’s treatment of light and his focus on everyday life. The painting is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, having a significant place in the collection of 19th-century French art. Through this piece, Millet not only documents rural life but also elevates it, inviting viewers to reflect on the relationship between humans and nature.
