"Two Donkeys Standing in a Grassy Yard" is an etching by Dutch Golden Age artist Karel Dujardin, created in 1652. The print depicts two donkeys standing in a grassy yard in front of a brick building with two windows. The donkey in the foreground is in profile view facing right, while the other is behind it in a three-quarter view. A small dog can be seen in the lower left corner. Dujardin, known for his animal studies, meticulously rendered the textures of the donkeys' fur and the surrounding landscape, showcasing his mastery of etching techniques. The print is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
