Image:  The Good Shepherd, Julien Dupre, 1851-1910 (painting, detail). California Palace of the Legion of Honor, San Francisco, CA, United States.

Images of women agricultural workers became a popular subject in French painting of the mid-late 19th century. Julien Dupre drew on that popular theme and moved it to allegory, with the naming of a shepherdess as the "good shepherd." Christ, the spiritual Good Shepherd, becomes a calming presence without being pictured, simply by the artist's use of sheep, staff/rod, and one who tends the flock.
