About the piece
Painted in 1797 by James Ward, this oil on canvas captures the robust form of a Border Leicester ewe with masterful technique. The animal's thick, curly fleece is rendered with exceptional detail, standing in stark relief against a backdrop of shadowed hills and a dramatic, overcast sky that evokes the quiet atmosphere of the English countryside.
