Studies van een bok 1641 - 1700

"Studies van een bok" is a drawing of four goats by Johann Heinrich Roos. The drawing, dated from between 1641 and 1700, was likely created as a study for larger, more finished paintings. Roos, born in 1631, was a renowned German painter known for his depictions of animals, particularly goats, and his work is characterized by detailed and lively renderings. This drawing, now held in the Rijksmuseum, displays the artist's keen observation of the animals' anatomy and movement, highlighting his skills in creating realistic and expressive depictions.
