Leicester Longwool Ewe and Lamb, 8”x 8”, oil on panel, 2020, $175.
Developed in 18th-century England by Robert Bakewell and so prized in colonial America that George Washington referenced them in letters, the Leicester Longwool produces a fleece so luminous that freshly shorn sheep actually glisten in sunlight — spiral-tipped locks up to eight inches of pure luster. Ewes are exceptional mothers with remarkable longevity and milk production.
