About this work

You see a sheet of paper filled with quick sketches of sheep. Some stand. Others lie down. The lines are light but sure. Richmond used only pen and brown ink. No color. No shading. Just steady strokes that show how the sheep move. He did this in the 1830s. Check the National Gallery of Art, Washington to see more of his work.
