Piero Todeschini was a prolific author of portraits and genre scenes, in which the protagonist is predominantly the female figure.
The artist, through a painting of great and immediate vitality, portrays women, of all social classes, as the interpreter of an increasingly independent femininity, expressed in synthetic and dazzling images.
In this work, the figure of the shepherdess stands out, laughing and lively, who occupies the center of the scene together with one of her goats, against the backdrop of a mountain landscape.
The painting shows traces of restoration (patch on the back).
In a stylish frame.
