This anonymous etching, titled “Liggend schaap, bij knotwilg,” depicts a sheep resting under a pollarded willow tree. The detail of the sheep’s fleece and the tree’s gnarled branches demonstrate the artist’s skill in capturing the natural world. Created sometime between 1657 and 1800, the print is a beautiful example of Dutch landscape art from the Golden Age, and currently resides in the Rijksmuseum.
