Sheep 1878

Winslow Homer’s 1878 charcoal drawing "Sheep" depicts a flock of sheep grazing in a field, rendered in a simplified style. The artist’s signature, “W.H. 1878," appears in the bottom right corner. The composition is characterized by the use of white charcoal on brown paper, creating a striking contrast. Homer’s artistic focus on animal studies, particularly sheep, captures the movement and forms of these domesticated animals.
