This charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Nicolaes Berchem, currently housed at the Städel Museum, features three figures in a pastoral scene. Two nuns sit on a stone wall, one of them pointing toward a group of sheep and lambs. A third nun stands further back, her head covered by a hooded cloak. Berchem’s drawings are often studies for larger paintings, allowing the artist to experiment with composition and detail before committing to the final work. The loose, gestural lines of the drawing emphasize the dynamic movement of the figures and the sheep, showcasing Berchem's skill as a draftsman.
