Anguish (1878) by August Friedrich Schenck depicts a mother sheep standing guard over her dead lamb in a frozen landscape as crows wait nearby. Stripped of sentimentality, the painting confronts grief as instinctive and wordless, set against nature’s complete indifference. It transforms a simple rural scene into a haunting meditation on loss, helplessness, and the cruelty of inevitability.
