This black-and-white portrait captures a mouflon in a powerful frontal view. Its large, curved horns frame the animal’s head, forming an almost perfect symmetry that dominates the composition. Presented in vertical format, the image emphasizes the face and upper body of the mouflon, further enhancing its calm yet majestic presence. Every detail of the horns and fur is rendered with striking clarity, the monochrome style accentuating the textures and contrasts in a timeless manner.
