Studieblad met schapen 1824 - 1859

"Studie blad met schapen" is a study sheet of sheep by the Dutch artist Pieter Jan Guise, created between 1824 and 1859. Guise, known for his animal studies, captures the sheep in various poses, demonstrating a keen eye for anatomical detail. The use of red chalk creates a sense of warmth and movement, while the composition, with its scattered subjects, emphasizes the artist's focus on observation and exploration of form. This work showcases Guise's dedication to animal studies and his ability to render their natural grace with precision.
