About the Item

This print is part of a series titled "Studies van koeien, schapen en geiten" (Studies of Cows, Sheep, and Goats). The print was made by Anthony Oberman, a printmaker. Anthony Oberman (1781-1845) was a Dutch artist known for his detailed and realistic depictions of animals. His work often focused on studies of various farm animals, capturing their features with precision and skill. Oberman's prints are characterized by their fine lines and meticulous attention to detail, which is evident in this print of the heads. This print by Anthony Oberman presents a detailed study of three sheep heads. Here’s a thorough description of the etching: Composition: 1. Sheep Heads: - The print prominently features the heads of three sheep, each meticulously detailed. The sheep on the left has a calm expression with its mouth slightly open, showcasing the texture and detail of its wool and facial features. - The middle sheep's head is turned slightly towards the viewer, also with an open mouth, providing a different angle and more detailed view of the facial structure and wool texture. - The third head, located at the bottom, is that of a lamb. It is positioned between the two adult sheep heads and slightly lower, adding variety to the composition. Artistic Elements: - Technique: The etching technique employed by Oberman highlights the fine lines and detailed textures, particularly in the wool and facial features of the sheep. The contrasts between light and shadow are skillfully rendered, giving depth to the heads. - Composition: The close-up view of the sheep heads against a dark background creates a strong focal point. The arrangement of the three heads forms a triangular composition, which is visually pleasing and balanced. - Background: The background is kept dark and simple, ensuring that the viewer's attention remains focused on the detailed depiction of the sheep heads. Condition: - The paper shows signs of aging, including slight yellowing and minor spots, common for prints of this age. - The edges of the paper appear to be mostly intact, with some minor wear and slight creases, particularly noticeable in the corners. This particular series includes an edition size of 20 prints. THE TECHNIQUE USED: The technique used for the print "Kop van een lam" by Anthony Oberman is etching. Etching is a printmaking process that involves using acid to carve into the unprotected parts of a metal surface to create a design in the metal. The metal plate is then inked, and the ink is transferred to paper to create the print. This technique allows for fine detail and intricate line work, which is evident in Oberman's detailed depiction of these sheep. Anthony Oberman (1781-1845) was a Dutch artist known for his detailed paintings and etchings, primarily focusing on animals, landscapes, and still lifes. Born and baptized in Amsterdam, he studied at the Stadstekenacademie (drawing academy) and became a member of the Koninklijke Academie in Amsterdam in 1833. Oberman's work is notable for its precision and attention to detail, particularly in his depictions of horses, which were popular among Amsterdam collectors. He also created portraits of horses for notable figures, such as the banker Adriaan van der Hoop, with some works now held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. In his later years, Oberman specialized more in painting flower and fruit pieces, reflecting a shift in his artistic focus. His artworks have been sold at various auctions, with prices ranging from a few hundred to several thousand euros, depending on the piece. For example, his still life paintings have fetched significant sums at Sotheby's and Christie's, illustrating his continued recognition and appreciation in the art world. Oberman's contributions to art, particularly his detailed studies of animals and rural scenes, have left a lasting impact, making his works valuable to collectors and art historians alike..
