More about this artwork
The drawing depicts two goats. The larger goat stands prominently on the right, portrayed in profile with its head turned slightly towards the viewer, giving it a commanding presence. It has a predominantly white body with distinctive large black patches. Its eyes are alert, and its ears are perked up, casting an attentive gaze. The smaller goat, appearing to be a young kid, is captured in a more frontal view compared to the adult. This goat is grazing, head down towards the ground, possibly nibbling on grass. It sports a darker coat, mostly a soft, shadowy gray that contrasts subtly against the white of the paper.

Jean Bernard (1775–1833) was an avid Dutch art collector and a painter. His portraits of people, nature, and animals were drawn mostly with charcoal and colored crayons which beautifully captured the intricate details of his varied subjects.
He was a successful artist during his lifetime with many of his works decorating ministries and famous people's homes.
