Drie schapen bij een hek 1828

"Drie schapen bij een hek" (Three Sheep by a Fence) is an etching by Dutch artist Frédéric Théodore Faber, created in 1828. The artwork, now held at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a picturesque scene with three sheep resting in a meadow, one standing prominently, while the other two are lying down near a fence and a large tree. Faber’s precise rendering of the sheep, capturing their fleece and anatomy, is typical of his animal studies, highlighting his mastery of the etching technique.
