Sheep 1847

"Sheep" is a pencil drawing created in 1847 by Wilhelm Gentz, a German artist known for his animal studies. The drawing depicts a series of sheep sketches, captured in various poses, suggesting a study of animal anatomy and form. Gentz's loose and expressive lines create a sense of movement and life, reflecting the artist's keen observation of the natural world. This work, currently held by the Städel Museum, offers a glimpse into Gentz's artistic process and his interest in capturing the essence of his subjects.
