Angora Sheep

Herman van Swanevelt

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of goats in a pastoral setting. The scene features goats situated in a natural landscape among trees. One goat is lying on the ground while another stands nearby. In the background, foliage from the trees frames the goats. The illustration includes two figures in the distance, with one holding a staff. The composition employs fine lines and hatching to convey texture in the trees, goats, and ground.
