Ram and Two Sheep is a 1665 by Johann Heinrich Roos, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This etching shows a ram standing over two sheep in a grassy field. The ram has thick, curly horns and a shaggy coat, while the sheep lie down nearby. In the background, there’s a small house and a few trees under a cloudy sky. The artist used fine lines to show texture, especially in the wool and fur. The scene looks quiet and natural, with no people around. Next, look up Baroque to see how this style used drama and detail in everyday scenes.
