Twee schapen en een geit before 1652

"Twee schapen en een geit" is a pen and ink drawing by Dutch artist Barend Graat, dating back to before 1652. The artwork, measuring 141 mm wide and 94 mm high, depicts a simple pastoral scene with two sheep, one standing, the other lying down, and a goat, all in a natural, relaxed pose. The drawing showcases Graat’s meticulous attention to detail in capturing the texture of fur and the contours of the animals' bodies. The landscape background, with its trees and distant hills, adds depth and tranquility to the composition. This small yet charming drawing exemplifies Graat’s skill in capturing the essence of everyday animal life.
