Appearance
August Friedrich Schenck (1828–1901) was a German painter. This oil-on-canvas painting, entitled Anguish, is perhaps his most famous work, and shows an ewe grieving over the body of her dead lamb as they are encircled by black crows. The painting was acquired by the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia, in 1880.Painting credit: August Friedrich Schenck
