The Little Goat (La capretta) is a 1879 ink by Domenico Morelli, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a small goat in a natural setting, with trees and grass visible in the background. The goat is positioned in the center of the image, facing to the right. It has a distinctive pair of curved horns and a fluffy coat. The artist's use of etching and aquatint techniques creates a sense of texture and depth in the image. The goat's fur appears soft and fluffy, while the trees and grass in the background are rendered in a more detailed and realistic manner. The overall effect of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, inviting the viewer to appreciate the beauty of the natural world.
