Egron Lundgren - Studies of Sheep and Goat Heads, CairoEgron Sellif Lundgren (1815 1875) Sweden Studies of Sheep and Goat Heads, Cairo (c. 1871) watercolor on paper unframed 18 x 30 cm (7 x 11 in.)framed 30 x 41 cm (11 x 16 in.) This sheet features four close up studies focusing on the heads of goats or sheep. Each animals head is drawn from a different angle: one profile highlights a pair of curved horns, while another face is viewed head on. Lundgren uses warm brown watercolor washes on off white paper,

and waterfronts are treated with an eye for atmosphere rather than topography

emphasizing the stillness and peace of the scene

His work stands alongside the Skagen painters’ as a regional variant: equally enthralled by light and life by the sea

and later active both as painter and decorative artist

with frame 29 x 24 cm

offset by the warm flesh tones of the children and the muted earth colors of stone

geological complexity is simplified into broad planes of colour and tone
