Staand schaap en drie liggende schapen c. 1668 - 1670

This etching, "Staand schaap en drie liggende schapen" ("Standing sheep and three lying sheep"), by Johann Heinrich Roos, depicts a group of sheep in a pastoral setting. The sheep are realistically depicted, with meticulous attention to detail given to their wool and their postures. The scene is set against a backdrop of rocky cliffs and a distant castle, creating a sense of depth and perspective. The print, created in 1668-1670, is characteristic of Roos's style, which focused on the natural world and the interplay between animals and their environments.
