About the piece

Painted in 1913, 'The Sheep' is a quintessential example of Franz Marc's contribution to the German Expressionist movement. Marc utilizes a kaleidoscopic palette and bold, rhythmic geometry to express the spiritual essence of animals and the natural world, rather than their literal appearance.
