Description: | Signed: yes Description: The painting depicts a hilly landscape, highlands or moors, with five sheep: three adult and two lambs. The lamb on the far left is perched precariously on a rock, watched by the concerned mother, while the other stays safely beneath her. In the left foreground lies the horn of a dead sheep, which may, in conjunction with the dangerous predicament of the young lamb, gently hint at a deeper subject matter: perhaps concerning mortality and the rashness of youth. | Subjects: | landscape; animal (sheep) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Verboeckhoven, Eugène (Belgian painter, printmaker, and sculptor, 1799-1881) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9157... | Go to resource |
