Decorative Ram's Head 1800 - 1850

This anonymous 19th-century drawing, titled "Decorative Ram's Head," showcases a detailed and realistic depiction of a ram's head. The artist skillfully uses shading to create a sense of three-dimensionality, emphasizing the texture of the ram's wool and the intricate details of its horns. The addition of leaves and a ribbon adds a decorative touch, suggesting the work may have been intended as a design element for a larger piece. The drawing is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
