"Still Life with Sheep's Head" is a painting by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (1746–1828), who is widely regarded as one of the most important Spanish artists of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Goya was a court painter to the Spanish Crown and a chronicler of his era, known for his portraits, genre scenes, and works that critiqued the social and political issues of his time.

This particular still life is part of a series of works that mark Goya's foray into the still life genre, a departure from his more commonly known figurative and historical paintings. Created around 1808–1812, during a period of turmoil in Spain due to the Peninsular War, "Still Life with Sheep's Head" reflects a darker, more somber tone that is characteristic of Goya's later works. The painting depicts a sheep's head, skinned and severed, resting on a wooden surface alongside other cooking implements and possibly kitchen refuse. The choice of subject matter and its stark presentation can be interpreted as a meditation on mortality and the transient nature of life, themes that resonate with Goya's experiences of war and personal illness.

The painting is executed with a loose, expressive brushwork that would later influence modernist painters. The somber color palette and dramatic use of light and shadow contribute to the overall solemn and contemplative mood of the piece. "Still Life with Sheep's Head" is an example of Goya's mastery in rendering textures and surfaces, as well as his ability to imbue still life with emotional depth and symbolic meaning.

As with many of Goya's works, "Still Life with Sheep's Head" is held in high esteem by art historians and critics for its innovative approach to the still life genre and its poignant reflection of the human condition. The painting is part of the collection of the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
