Artist, French, c. 1600 - 1668

The image displays a man standing next to a tree, wearing a tattered garment. He is barefoot and holding a staff in one hand and a scroll in the other. A lamb is lying beside him, and the background shows a landscape with trees, a river, and distant hills. The scene is enclosed in an oval frame with etched details.
