De gelijkenis van het verloren schaap 1872 - 1944

Frans Smissaert's "De gelijkenis van het verloren schaap" (1872-1944) depicts a lone figure walking across a barren landscape. The figure, likely representing Jesus, is drawn in a realistic style, with emphasis on the flowing lines of their cloak and hair. The cloudy sky and desolate ground create a sense of introspection and loss, reflecting the parable of the lost sheep, a biblical tale of forgiveness and redemption. The drawing is part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcasing Smissaert's talent for capturing spiritual and emotional depth in his artwork.
