Os 1635 - 1645

"Os" is a detailed drawing of a standing ox by the famed Baroque artist Claude Lorrain. Created between 1635 and 1645, this drawing demonstrates Lorrain's mastery of capturing the form and texture of animals with expressive lines and shading. The ox's powerful presence is accentuated by the artist's meticulous depiction of its anatomy and the subtle detail of its fur. This drawing, now in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Lorrain's early artistic explorations, showcasing his keen observational skills and his talent for capturing the beauty of the natural world.
