Still life of Sheep's Ribs and Head - The Butcher's conter 1812

Francisco Goya's "Still Life of Sheep's Ribs and Head - The Butcher's Counter" from 1812 is a stark and unflinching depiction of a butchered sheep. The realism of the artwork is striking, with the sheep's head and ribs rendered in meticulous detail. The dark background and limited palette create a sense of somberness, highlighting the vulnerability of the animal. This painting exemplifies Goya's fascination with the darker aspects of life and death, which is characteristic of his later works.
