Notities en een schaap (half) 1750 - 1809

David Alphonse de Sandoz-Rollin created "Notities en een schaap (half)" using pen and ink, resulting in a drawing of delicate lines on paper. The composition is sparse, with a fragmented sheep sketch positioned on the left and handwritten notes dominating the remaining space. The drawing uses the form of a simple sketch combined with text, which invites us to consider the relationship between language and image. The incomplete sheep acts as a visual element but also as a sign, its incompleteness perhaps suggesting fragility. Sandoz-Rollin destabilizes established meanings by merging the textual with the visual, which complicates our reading of the piece. Through its interplay between text and image, this drawing challenges the viewer to consider how meaning is constructed. The fragmented composition, with its sparse details, emphasizes the transient nature of thought, reminding us that art is a continuous process of interpretation.
