Schapen in een stal 1867 - 1911

"Schapen in een stal" (Sheep in a Stable) is an etching by Dutch artist Jacoba de Graaff, created between 1867 and 1911. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts three sheep in a stable, rendered in delicate detail with meticulous cross-hatching. De Graaff, known for her depictions of animals, captures the sheep's forms with sensitivity, highlighting their wool and the natural textures of their surroundings. The image conveys a sense of peace and tranquility, typical of de Graaff's style. The etching is a testament to de Graaff's mastery of printmaking and her keen observation of the natural world.
