"I gave each of the little girls a skirt with little white dots, a light-coloured blouse, a headscarf and an apron. It was in these simple clothes, but without the apron, that the little shepherdesses were photographed for a portrait that is now going around everywhere"

Português

a cada uma das meninas dei uma saia com pintinhas brancas, uma blusa clarinha, um lenço e um avental. É com este simples vestuário, mas sem o avental, que às pastorinhas foi tirado um retrato que anda, por aí, muito espalhado"
