Artist, Italian, 1723 - 1783

This is a drawing of three goats in a natural setting. The drawing depicts three goats with curved horns. One goat is standing in the center, reaching up towards a cluster of branches with leaves. Another goat is to the left, focused elsewhere, and a third is resting on the ground in the foreground. The foliage is detailed, creating a realistic scene. The artwork is monochromatic with detailed line work against a colored background. The artist's signature and date are in the upper right corner. The composition balances the forms of the goats with their surroundings.
