Hirtenjunge mit zwei Ziegen 

Ernst Schalck’s “Hirtenjunge mit zwei Ziegen” is a graphite and watercolor drawing depicting a young shepherd boy tending to two goats. The scene is set against a rural landscape with a village and a church steeple in the distance. The drawing, likely a preparatory study, demonstrates the artist’s delicate hand and keen eye for detail. The light touch of the artist’s lines adds to the peaceful quality of the scene. The piece is a testament to Schalck’s skills and his interest in capturing the everyday lives of rural folk. It currently resides in the Städel Museum.
