A Fine Farmyard Scene Sand Picture by Benjamin Zobel, Inspired by

The scene set in a farmyard and featuring a charming donkey, bull and a pair of pigs lying in the straw. The subject matter is typical for Zobel but this piece is particularly finely coloured and drawn and all of the animals are well-rendered and observed. A friend of the dissolute George Morland, one of the most popular artists of the period, Zobel frequently copied his works in sand but also drew inspiration from his friend’s compositions, creating new tableaux of his own. The present composition does not appear to be a copy of a known Morland work but is very reminiscent of the artist’s taste and style.
