Weidende Schafe (Grazing Sheep)

Lovis Corinth

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a landscape with round shapes in a field resembling sheep. In the distance, a row of trees forms a natural boundary. Stylized clouds are visible in the sky. The artwork is monochrome with shades of gray and black, featuring sketch-like brushstrokes for movement and texture. The overall look is akin to an etching with soft lines and shading for a delicate and blurred effect.
