Goat and Two Kids is a 1758 ink by Francesco Londonio, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a goat and two kids in a serene landscape. The goat, positioned centrally, faces right with its head turned back, while the kids lie on the ground to its right. The scene is set against a backdrop of trees and foliage, with the goat's shadow cast on the ground. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth to the image, creating a sense of warmth and tranquility. The goat's gentle expression and the kids' playful poses convey a sense of innocence and vulnerability. The National Gallery of Art, Washington, holds this beautiful example of Romanticism.
Francesco Londonio (1723–1783) was an Italian painter, engraver, and scenographer, active mainly in his native Milan in a late-Baroque or Rococo style.
