Interieur van een schaapskooi c. 1884 - 1887

"Interieur van een schaapskooi" (c. 1884-1887) is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Willem Witsen. The drawing depicts the interior of a sheepfold, with several sheep huddled together in the dimly lit space. The composition is simple and direct, with the focus on the sheep and their environment. Witsen's use of charcoal creates a sense of depth and texture, highlighting the rough wood of the sheepfold and the woolly forms of the sheep. This drawing offers a glimpse into the rural life of the Netherlands and is a fine example of Witsen's masterful use of charcoal.
