This is an original acrylic painting on canvas by Menashe Kadishman (1932-2015), signed on the reverse. A white sheep head with dark eyes and a dark heart-shaped nose emerges from a black and grey ground, with streaks of white paint running down the canvas. The work is framed.
The sheep is Kadishman’s best-known motif, rooted in his years as a shepherd on Kibbutz Ma’ayan Baruch in the early 1950s.
The painting comes with a certificate of authenticity from the artist’s estate, signed by Kadishman’s children. Square Art Gallery worked directly with Kadishman for many years and today works directly with his estate and family.
