Twee langharige schapen 1834 - 1911

"Twee langharige schapen" is a pencil sketch by Jozef Israëls, a prominent Dutch realist painter. Created between 1834 and 1911, the artwork is a quick study of two sheep, likely done from life. The simple lines and loose composition capture the essence of the animals, emphasizing their form and texture. This sketch, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Israëls's working process and his keen observation of the natural world.
