. This black and white etching, created by Francesco Londonio in 1764, transports us back to the rustic countryside of the eighteenth century. Titled "Boy and Girl with a Donkey" this artwork beautifully captures an everyday scene of agricultural workers going about their daily tasks. The focal point of the image is a young boy and girl accompanied by a donkey, symbolizing their role as farmhands. Their simple attire reflects their humble profession as they navigate through lush fields against a backdrop of rolling hills. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke, creating an atmosphere that immerses viewers into this idyllic rural setting. Londonio's etching technique adds depth and texture to the composition while highlighting key elements such as the donkey's expressive eyes or the children's innocent gazes. The use of white on blue paper further enhances these details, giving them prominence within the overall monochromatic palette. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.

It reminds us of our rich agricultural heritage and invites contemplation on how farming practices have evolved over time. "Boy and Girl with a Donkey" not only showcases Londonio’s artistic prowess but also offers us an intimate glimpse into rural
