Figure from a Crèche: Sitting Ram

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a sculpture of a sitting ram. The ram is shown in profile, facing left. It has a brown patina and appears to be made of wood or possibly terracotta. The ram's body is rendered in a sitting position, with its front and back legs tucked underneath it. Its head is held up with its mouth slightly open. The ram has a distinctive pair of curved horns on its head. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from black at the top to gray at the bottom. A shadow is cast to the left of the sculpture. The sculpture appears to be an old piece, likely from a crèche.
