Weidende Schafe (Grazing Sheep) is a 1916 ink by Lovis Corinth, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a group of sheep grazing on a grassy hillside under a cloudy sky. The lines are loose and quick, like hurried notes. In the background, a dark shape suggests a building or trees. The artist used a drypoint method—scratching lines into a metal plate to print. This left a rough, textured look that feels almost sketchy. Next, check out Corinth, Lovis for more of his expressive work.
Lovis Corinth was a German artist and writer whose mature work as a painter and printmaker realized a synthesis of impressionism and expressionism.
