About the Item

This study presents multiple views of goats and sheep drawn across a single sheet. Lundgren depicts the animals in different poses – a light-colored goat standing in profile, a dark goat or sheep curled up, and others sketched in outline. He works on tinted paper, applying brown watercolor washes and bold white highlights to make the figures stand out. The use of the gray-brown paper as mid-tone gives depth to the quick sketches. Made during Lundgren’s time in Cairo (circa 1871), the sheet reflects his practice of sketching local animals from life with fluid, spontaneous brushwork watercolor on paper unframed 22.5 x 21 cm (8 ⅞ x 8 ¼ in.) framed 36 x 33 cm (14 ⅛ x 13 in.)
