"A Little Shepherdess" is an 1891 oil painting by the French academic artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau. Known for his realistic genre paintings and mythological themes, Bouguereau was a staunch traditionalist whose style exemplified the academic art movement and was characterized by his use of highly finished techniques. "A Little Shepherdess" continues Bouguereau's tradition of depicting pastoral scenes and idealized peasant children, which were popular subjects during the 19th century.

The painting portrays a young shepherdess in a rural setting, capturing the innocence and idyllic nature of rural life. She is depicted standing in a landscape, holding a shepherd's staff, with a flock of sheep around her, suggesting her role as their caretaker. The subject is dressed in traditional peasant attire, and her gaze, directed towards the viewer, along with her gentle pose, imbues the work with a sense of calm and serenity.

Bouguereau's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the figure and the landscape, from the texture of the girl's clothing to the softness of the sheep's wool. The use of light and shadow, as well as the soft color palette, contribute to the overall sense of harmony and beauty that is characteristic of Bouguereau's work.

"A Little Shepherdess" is a fine example of Bouguereau's skill in combining technical precision with a romanticized view of peasant life. His works were widely appreciated during his lifetime for their beauty and craftsmanship, and "A Little Shepherdess" reflects the qualities that made Bouguereau a celebrated figure in the art world of his time. The painting is held in a private collection and continues to be admired for its aesthetic qualities and as an example of Bouguereau's artistic legacy.
