EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Shepherdess defended by her dog" takes us back to the 19th century French countryside, where a young shepherdess finds herself in a perilous situation. Illustrated by Henri Meyer and featured in Le Petit Journal's Supplement illustre on January 9th, 1898, this colour lithograph showcases an extraordinary act of bravery. As she tends to her flock peacefully, chaos ensues when a deranged vagabond launches an attack on the unsuspecting maiden. However, fear not! Her loyal canine companion leaps into action without hesitation. With unwavering courage and determination, the faithful dog defends its mistress against this madman's assault. The artist skillfully captures the intensity of this dramatic moment through vibrant colors and intricate details. The shepherdess' apron billows in the wind as she desperately clings onto her staff for protection while her pet valiantly confronts their assailant. This illustration serves as a testament to the unbreakable bond between humans and animals. It reminds us that even in times of danger, our furry friends can become our greatest protectors. Preserved within The Stapleton Collection, this historic artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless message of loyalty and resilience. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back to that fateful day in rural France when one brave dog stood up against adversity to defend his beloved shepherdess.
