Still Life of a Lamb's Head and Flanks (Spanish:Bodegón con costillas, lomo y cabeza de cordero) orA Butcher's Counter (Spanish:Trozos de Carnero) is an[1]still-life oil painting byFrancisco Goya, fromc. 1808–1812. It has been in the collection of theLouvre, inParis, since 1909.
The painting is one of a series of 12 still lifes of dead or butchered animals that Goya painted during Spain's war with Napoleon[2]. Made at the same time as the artist'sThe Disasters of War, the paintings are noted for their departure from traditional still lifes[2]. Scholars suggest that the paintings from this series evoke the death and violence Spain witnessed at that time[3].
