About the piece
Painted in 1902 by Heinrich von Zügel, this work captures a flock of sheep within a windswept moorland. Zügel, a prominent German impressionist known for his animal subjects, employs thick, energetic brushstrokes that lend a palpable sense of movement and atmosphere to the scene. The muted palette of earthy browns, deep grays, and cream-colored wool creates a grounding and timeless aesthetic.
