Engraving of a seated woman reading a book under a tree, with sheep, a goat, a crook, and two angels in clouds above a landscape.

Saint Geneviève as a shepherdess, seated under a tree, reading a book with sheep at her side; three angels in the sky. Engraving by J.J. Balechou after C. Vanloo.

A woman in flowing drapery sits beneath a tree reading an open book, a shepherd's crook resting beside her. Sheep and a goat lie at her feet, and two winged cherubs appear in the clouds above a distant landscape.

Español: Santa Genoveva como pastora, leyendo bajo un árbol

Una mujer con vestido de amplios pliegues está sentada bajo un árbol leyendo un libro abierto, con un cayado de pastor apoyado a su lado. Ovejas y una cabra descansan a sus pies, y dos querubines alados aparecen entre las nubes sobre un paisaje lejano.
