Liggende får med to lam 1620 - 1683

Nicolaes Berchem's etching "Liggende får med to lam" (1620-1683) depicts a ewe and two lambs resting in a grassy field. The detailed depiction of the sheep’s wool and the subtle shading used to render the landscape creates a sense of realism. This etching, now housed in the SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Berchem’s mastery of animal studies and his skill in capturing the beauty of the natural world.
