Erminia meets the shepherds, painting in the style of Guercino, 17th c


-large.webp)

The oil on canvas depicts, on the right, a young woman with dark hair gathered and held back by pearl ribbons. She is dressed in warrior clothes: she wears a red tunic with wide sleeves, while her torso is protected by metal armor; with his left arm he holds a helmet, decorated on top with a golden lioness. The opposite arm is raised in greeting, facing a pair of shepherds on the doorstep of a house. The one in the foreground, older and bearded, is busy weaving a wicker basket, interrupted in his work, wearing simple, ocher-coloured clothes; further away, in the background, there is a young man with a whistle, long hair and a beardless face, with an expression of amazement in his gaze.
