Sheep in a Manger

Charles Émile Jacque

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a group of sheep in a field. Two sheep are in the foreground, one standing and one lying down, with more sheep in the background. The color palette consists of muted tones of gray, brown, and white, highlighting the texture of the sheep's wool. The scene includes a feeding trough extending from the left to the central portion, with other sheep clustered around it. A lantern hangs on the wall in the upper left corner.
