Schapen in een stal 1887

"Schapen in een stal" (Sheep in a Stable), an etching by Albert Heinrich Brendel, depicts a scene of sheep in a barn. Created in 1887, the artwork captures the quietude of rural life, showcasing a group of sheep huddled together in a dimly lit stable. The detailed etching portrays the sheep's wool, the rough texture of the barn floor, and the faint light filtering through the doorway, creating a sense of realism and tranquility. The work is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into the everyday life of rural Dutch communities in the late 19th century.
