Ram 1765 - 1785

Ralph Wood the Younger's "Ram," a ceramic sculpture created between 1765 and 1785, showcases the artist's skilled craftsmanship in depicting animal realism. The ram, rendered in delicate detail, lies on a bed of stylized foliage, showcasing the use of lead-glazed earthenware typical of the period. This charming sculpture, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, exemplifies the popularity of animal figures in 18th-century English ceramic art, highlighting the appeal of naturalistic representations in domestic settings.
