Farmyard Animals (Rural Creatures) Selection Wrapping Paper Sheet

This design features three high-quality images of artwork containing animals that traditionally live on farms and in rural landscapes. The first artwork is by the Swiss painter Eugène Burnand (1850–1921), and it shows a Simmental bull on an Alpine mountainside, overlooks the valley below from its pastureland as steam is released from the animal's muzzle, suggesting cool morning air in the high peaks. The second artwork is by the English artist George Morland (1763–1804); it shows two pigs sleeping in straw; it is a beautiful scene of countryside life. The third artwork is by the Italian artist Filippo Palizzi (1818–1899), and it shows two animals eating from the same branch of leaves; they are together in a farm's traditional barn; on the left is a donkey with brown hair and on the right is a lamb with white hair; the donkey is shown in profile, while the lamb is looking straight at the viewer.
