Studies van ezels en een muildier op de Grote Markt te Tanger 1902

"Studies van ezels en een muildier op de Grote Markt te Tanger" is a 1902 drawing by Dutch artist Jac van Looij, depicting a series of sketches of donkeys and a mule in the marketplace of Tangier, Morocco. The artist's quick, gestural style and use of charcoal and pastel capture the essence of these working animals in their daily activities. Van Looij's sketches are a testament to his keen observation and talent for capturing the movement and character of his subjects. This study piece likely served as a source of inspiration for later, more finished works.
