Landschap met schaap en lam 1739 - 1851

This 18th-century etching by Johannes Janson, titled "Landschap met schaap en lam" (Landscape with Sheep and Lamb), depicts a simple yet evocative scene. A ewe and her lamb stand in a grassy field, their forms rendered with delicate lines that capture the texture of their wool. In the background, a suggestion of distant buildings and trees adds depth to the composition. The work showcases Janson's skill in capturing the subtle nuances of animal anatomy and the peaceful tranquility of the natural world, typical of the Dutch landscape tradition. This small but finely detailed etching can be found in the Rijksmuseum.
