Mezzotint of Saint Geneviève seated under a tree reading a book, with sheep at her side and two winged angels in the sky above.

Saint Geneviève as a shepherdess, seated under a tree, reading a book; sheep at her side, three angels in the sky. Mezzotint by S. De Wilde after C. Vanloo, 17-- (?).

A mezzotint in dark tones shows a seated woman in loose draped robes reading a small book beneath a tree, with sheep and a shepherd's crook beside her. Two winged cherubs appear in the sky above, and a rural landscape with distant buildings recedes to the right. The lettered inscription "St Geneviève" runs along the bottom margin.
