Sketches of Mountain Sheep
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an exquisite black and white drawing by the renowned British artists Charles Landseer and Edwin Henry Landseer. The image captures a scene of mountainous terrain populated by a group of sheep and goats, their horns curling elegantly against the gray backdrop. The drawing, executed in black chalk on gray laid paper, showcases the artists' exceptional skill in capturing the intricacies of the animals' forms and the textures of their coats. Charles Landseer (1799-1879) and his nephew Edwin Henry Landseer (1802-1873) were two of the most celebrated animal artists of the 19th century. Their works are held in high esteem for their lifelike depictions of farm animals, particularly their studies of sheep and goats. This drawing, possibly attributed to either Charles or Edwin Henry Landseer, is a testament to their mastery of the medium and their deep understanding of the natural world. The drawing is a valuable addition to the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is housed as part of their Prints and Drawings department. The image is a monochrome study, with the animals standing out in stark relief against the grayish background. The sheep and goats are shown in various poses, some grazing, others looking up curiously, and still others engaged in social interactions. The drawing invites the viewer to appreciate the beauty and grace of these humble creatures, as well as the artists' remarkable ability to capture their essence. This evocative image of mountain sheep and goats is a reminder of the rich heritage of animal art and the enduring appeal of the natural world. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, particularly those with a passion for the animal kingdom.
