Liggende jonge geit met twee duiven en twee muizen 1864 - 1866

This etching by F. Lautenberger, created between 1864 and 1866, depicts a young goat lying down in a barn-like setting, with two pigeons and two mice in the foreground. The artist uses a detailed, almost painterly, approach to render the animal's fur, the straw, and the textures of the other elements in the composition. The etching, measuring just 111 mm by 164 mm, exhibits the artist's interest in the natural world and their ability to capture the quiet beauty of everyday scenes. The piece is likely to have appealed to a broad audience interested in animal portraits and realistic depictions of nature.
