"Kudde schapen" (Flock of Sheep) is a pencil drawing created by Dutch artist Jozef Israëls, a leading figure in the Hague School. The drawing depicts a flock of sheep in a minimalist style, emphasizing the artist’s mastery of light and shadow. The simple composition highlights the natural form of the sheep, demonstrating Israëls’ keen observation of nature. The artwork is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
