Studieblad met schapen en een hond c. 1904 - 1912

Ferdinand Oldewelt's "Studie blad met schapen en een hond" (c. 1904-1912) is a collection of seven pencil sketches of sheep and a dog. This work showcases Oldewelt's talent for capturing animal forms in their natural movements. The loose lines and quick sketches highlight the artist's keen observation of animal anatomy and the casual, unposed gestures of the subjects. This study sheet likely served as a preparatory drawing for a larger work, and exemplifies Oldewelt's meticulous approach to capturing the essence of his subjects.
