She is barefoot and is clad only in a rough skirt andchemise. A wall of rock rises abruptly from the waters edge,covered with vines and creeping plants of tender green. Asmall flock of sheep brouse on the grass above, and one of theirnumber, a small lamb, leans far over the edge to drink waterfrom the girls hand as she leans in easy attitude against therock. The sunlight plays upon the water and the green of thecreepers, making the depths of the wood behind dark and for-bidding by comparison. Signed at the upper left, P. MiCHETTI, 71. Height. 14 inches; width. 10 inches.
