Two Sheep In A Landscape 1796

"Two Sheep In A Landscape" is an oil painting on canvas by George Morland, a British artist known for his depictions of rural life. Created in 1796, the painting showcases Morland's mastery of animal portraiture, with the sheep rendered in lifelike detail. The work captures a tranquil moment in the English countryside, with the sheep resting under a large tree, exemplifying the genre of pastoral art. This work, like many of Morland's paintings, likely appealed to the taste of the time, reflecting a romanticized view of rural life.
