More about this artwork

This painting by Edward Penfield, titled "Woman And Sheep," presents a striking and stylized image. It features a woman prominently in the foreground, dressed in a flowing grey garment with a distinctive design. She holds a book, richly adorned with an ornate cover, suggesting it might be something of significance or a symbol of knowledge and culture.The woman's hairstyle and her expressive profile add to her elegant and poised appearance. The use of bold, flat colors, and outlines are characteristic of Penfield's graphic style, likely influenced by the Art Nouveau movement, which often emphasized such stylization.In the background, a few sheep are scattered across a simple, grassy landscape. The animals are depicted in a more sketch-like, less detailed manner compared to the woman, possibly to draw more focus to her. This might suggest themes of pastoral life, tranquility, or a connection to nature.Overall, the composition and the contrast between the detailed portrayal of the woman and the minimalistic rendering of the sheep create a visually intriguing piece that might explore themes of humanity, nature, and perhaps introspection or contemplation.

Edward Penfield (1866-1925) was an influential American poster artist, considered as the father of the American poster movement. He was employed as an art editor for Harper’s Weekly, Monthly, and Harper’s Bazaar, where he made posters advertising each issue of the magazine for over seven years. His art was avant-garde with less concern for the dramatic curving lines of Art Nouveau, inspired by Japanese ukiyo-e block prints, figure drawings by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, color lithographies by Jules Chéret, and other contemporary artists. He created simplified scenes of daily life in saturated colors, including horses, cats, sports, and women’s fashion.
