Ezel before 1650

"Ezel" is an etching by Italian artist Antonio Tempesta, created before 1650. The artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a donkey in profile, standing on a grassy patch with its head lowered. Tempesta, known for his detailed animal studies, captures the donkey's anatomy with precision, emphasizing its musculature and gait. The print is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the nuances of animal form through the medium of etching.
