Negen schapen 1859

"Negen schapen" (Nine Sheep), a lithograph created in 1859 by Dutch artist Dirk van Lokhorst, portrays a group of sheep resting in a field. The detailed, realistic depiction of the sheep, rendered in black and white, showcases van Lokhorst's meticulous observation of animal anatomy and behavior. This work is a fine example of animal studies, a popular genre in 19th-century art, and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
