This drawing, titled "Herde von Ziegen, Schafen, Kühen und Pferden in einer italienischen Berglandschaft mit Ruinen," by Johann Heinrich Roos, depicts a herd of goats, sheep, cows, and horses in a mountainous landscape. The artwork is a testament to Roos's skill in capturing the natural world with detail and realism. The drawing shows a group of animals gathered near ruins, possibly an abandoned structure in an Italian landscape. Roos, known for his animal paintings, has depicted these creatures in a variety of poses, highlighting their natural grace and movements. This artwork is a fine example of the "animalier" genre, popular in the 17th century.
