A Goat and a Sheep in an Italianate Landscape by Philipp Peter Roos
c.1690 / Oil on canvas / 38 1/2”x28 3/4” / Private collection
Roos really captured the essence of an aggravated goat in that painting!
Definitely in an evil mood!
Yes, I had finally watched ‘Witch’ recently and the goat has forever taken on a new symbolic meaning.
