Liggend schaap met dikke vacht 1805

"Liggend schaap met dikke vacht" is a 1805 etching by Dutch artist Frédéric Théodore Faber, depicting a sheep lying down in a grassy field. The image features delicate, detailed lines that capture the texture of the sheep's wool and the surrounding landscape. The etching showcases Faber's skillful observation of nature and his ability to represent it through a simple yet expressive style, typical of his animal studies. This work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artist's mastery of the etching technique and his fascination with the animal world.
