Girl and Goat 1984

Rudolf Láng's 1984 pastel drawing, "Girl and Goat", depicts a whimsical scene with a young girl standing in a forest setting, possibly an idyllic countryside, and a small goat near the bottom of the composition. The artist's use of loose, expressive strokes and the pastel's rich color palette create a dream-like atmosphere. The work is small in scale, 17.78 x 12.7 cm, and invites the viewer to contemplate the connection between the girl and the goat in this enchanting environment. The composition is somewhat abstract, leaving the viewer to interpret the relationship between the girl and her surroundings. Láng, known for his expressive landscapes and figurative works, was a Hungarian artist who had a successful career in the 20th century.
