A Goat, a Ewe, and a Ram is a 1597 ink by Adriaen Collaert, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows two sheep and a goat standing close together in a field. Behind them, a winding path leads to a small town with buildings, a bridge, and a church steeple. A river runs through the town, and people are working in the distance—some plowing with oxen, others walking. The artist used fine lines to create depth, especially in the mountains and trees. The sheep and goat look very detailed, almost like they’re standing right there. If you like this style, look up engraving to see how artists carve images into metal plates.
