Trompe l'Oeil: Landscapes and Sheep, Using Original Copperplates

Italienische Grafik 1779–1810, circa 1790

In the image, there are two large drawings stacked in the center. One features sheep and the other depicts a rural house with smoke rising and trees in the background. The color palette includes shades of gray, white, and beige. The drawings are contained within an ornate oval-shaped frame with intricate floral and scroll designs around the border. The sheep drawing slightly overlaps the rural scene, both are angled slightly from each other, creating a sense of layered depth.
