Studies of Sheep is a 1864 chalk by Jean-Ferdinand Chaigneau, a Impressionism work, depicting Sheep, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two sheep standing on a flat surface. The lines are loose and quick, with no color—just black and gray on a faded paper background. One sheep faces left, the other right, both looking simple but alive. The artist used rough, sketchy strokes to show fur and movement. This style fits the early days of Impressionism, where quick drawings were key. Look up Chaigneau, Jean-Ferdinand next to see more of his work.
Jean-Ferdinand Chaigneau (1860–1869) was an artist.
