1869
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Studies of Sheep is a 1869 by Anton Mauve, a Impressionism work, depicting Sheep, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a few sheep standing on a patch of grass. One has a bell around its neck. The light hits their wool in soft gray and white. Mauve liked to paint rural life. He focused on quiet moments, not big dramatic scenes. This wasn't his only animal work, but it's a good example. Look for more of his work at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
Anthonij "Anton" Rudolf Mauve (Dutch pronunciation: ; 18 September 1838 – 5 February 1888) was a Dutch realist painter who was a leading member of the Hague School.
