Johann Heinrich Roos

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black-and-white drawing of animals and stonework on textured, off-white background. A weathered stone pillar on the left features an oval carving of a man's head. The man has short hair and laurel leaves around his head. To the right, a goat with large curved horns lies on the ground behind a cabbage. The goat faces right. Behind and to the right of the goat are two sheep. The sheep on the right lies down with its head on its back. The other sheep sits with its head down. The animals are surrounded by dense vegetation. Tall plants behind the animals near the right edge. The sky above the trees near the top edge. The drawing has a rectangular border with rough edges. The overall style resembles an etching or engraving.
