Head of Sheep(?)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Head of Sheep(?) by artist Pablo Picasso: A black-and-white image of a small, textured sculpture. The sculpture is irregularly shaped, with a rough surface. It depicts an animal head in a highly abstracted form, with minimal features. Two small circular indentations represent the eyes. A small protrusion on the left side could represent an ear. The mouth area is minimal. The sculpture appears to be made of stone or plaster. The background is plain and light-colored.
