Studieblad met schapen 1824 - 1859

"Studie blad met schapen" (Study Sheet with Sheep), created between 1824 and 1859 by Pieter Jan Guise, showcases the artist's keen eye for animal anatomy and his mastery of detailed brushwork. This study sheet, a common tool used by artists to practice, depicts six sheep in various positions and angles. The sheep are rendered in shades of brown, white, and black against a neutral green background, creating a sense of depth and realism. This piece, likely completed during the artist's short but prolific career, demonstrates Guise's dedication to meticulous observation and anatomical accuracy in animal portraiture.
