This sketch shows two sheep standing close together in a grassy field. One sheep is facing forward while the other looks away, and the artist included a small detail of one sheep lifting its leg. The background has some bushes and trees, drawn with quick, sketchy lines. The title *Two Sheep, One Pissing* gives this everyday moment a funny twist. The artist focused on simple, everyday life rather than grand scenes. Next, check out the Baroque movement for more playful or surprising art.
