Saint Geneviève Herding Sheep (c. 1530) portrays the patron saint of Paris with a staff, guiding sheep in a stone enclosure. This aligns with the Good Shepherd theme, emphasizing her protective role over Parisians. The background includes a partly imaginary view of Paris with landmarks like the Charles V enclosure, the Bastille, the Temple, and Montmartre, highlighting Geneviève’s enduring legacy as the city’s guardian.
