Liggend schaap 1815 - 1860

"Liggend schaap" is a black and white etching created by Dutch artist Abraham Hendrik Winter between 1815 and 1860. The small-scale artwork depicts a sheep lying down in a grassy field, its head turned to the side, seemingly gazing at something off-screen. The composition is simple and focused, creating a sense of tranquility. Winter's use of etching allowed for delicate detail and tonal variations, lending a sense of realism to the scene. His signature, "AW," is subtly visible in the upper left corner. This etching, despite its small size, embodies Winter's talent for capturing the essence of natural beauty.
