Schaap en wolk 1950 - 2009

"Schaap en wolk" (Sheep and Cloud) is a 1950-2009 lithograph by Dutch artist Harrie A. Gerritz. The artwork, which is currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, depicts a simple scene of a sheep walking past a potted plant in a light, graphic style. The sheep is white with a brown stripe on its back, and the plant is a leafy green with a red pot. The background is a minimalist representation of a blue sky with a single white cloud. The drawing's simplified forms and use of color evoke a childlike innocence, characteristic of Gerritz’s work. The artwork is a playful and evocative example of Gerritz's unique artistic vision, demonstrating his interest in the world around him.
