The concave underside is glazed, and has a circular ventilation hole under the figure. The approximately D-shaped mound base is moulded across the front with a C scroll, and rocaille 'frilling'. At the back it has a tree stump with a Y-shaped branch on the viewer's right, and a shorter branch on the left. The shepherdess stands facing the front with her left foot slightly advanced, and her head turned to her left. She supports an houlette in her left hand, and with her right, holds up her apron behind her. She has long pale brown hair, and wears a broad-brimmed yellow hat with a pink underside, and a mauve ribbon round the crown. She has a white chemise with full sleeves, a yellow bodice fastened with mauve bows over a turquoise stomacher, a yellow skirt, a white apron, a turquoise cloak with a pale orange lining held on by an orange ribbon across her chest, and pink shoes with red bows. On the viewer's right a sheep lies on the mound looking up at her. Its back is dappled with red wavy lines and its hooves are grey. The flowers on the base are red, mauve, and yellow, and the leaves are green. The base is picked out in pink, a little turquoise, and gold.C.90B-19501accession numberC.90B-195047925priref47925urihttps://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/47925https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/47925a gold anchoron lower back of tree stumppainted in goldan anchormarkhalf of a circular paper label inscribed in red inkon the undersidehand-written in red inkChelsea/c. 1760-65labelreferenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam MuseumGiven by Francis L.
