EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Fine Art Finder takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the long and historical tradition of sheep shearing. The image showcases a remarkable comparison between two animals - one with its wool intact, and the other completely shorn. In this mesmerizing composition, we are drawn to the magnificent head of a horned ram, known as a merino sheep. Its impressive horns stand tall against the backdrop of an old-fashioned spiral fence. The intricate details captured in this photograph allow us to appreciate both the beauty and power exuded by these creatures. The contrast between the two sheep is striking; one adorned with its natural fleece while the other reveals its muscular frame after being skillfully sheared. This visual juxtaposition invites contemplation on how human intervention can transform an animal's appearance. As we delve deeper into this image, it serves as a reminder of our connection to nature and our ability to shape it for various purposes throughout history. It sparks curiosity about why such selective breeding was done in order to obtain different traits in livestock. Overall, this print offers more than just an aesthetic pleasure; it provides insight into centuries-old practices that have shaped our relationship with animals and their role in society.
