Vee en een os 1820 - 1872

This pencil sketch, "Vee en een os" (Cattle and an Ox), by Hendrik Abraham Klinkhamer is a study of animals. It captures the artist's keen observation of the forms and poses of sheep and an ox, likely created from life. The work is in the collection of the Rijksmuseum. The simple lines and subtle shading of this drawing highlight the artist's ability to capture movement and the textures of animal fur and hide. Klinkhamer's sketches, often rendered in pencil, are a testament to his interest in naturalism and his dedication to capturing the beauty of everyday scenes.
