Twee jongens met een geit 1831 - 1904

"Twee jongens met een geit" (Two Boys with a Goat) is an etching created by Dutch artist Arnoud Schaepkens between 1831 and 1904. The artwork depicts two young boys standing next to a goat in a rural setting. Schaepkens is known for his detailed and expressive etchings, and this work is a prime example of his style. The piece features the artist's characteristic use of hatching and cross-hatching to create depth and texture, rendering the boys' clothing, the goat's fur, and the surrounding landscape with striking realism. The simple scene captures the innocence and charm of childhood and provides a glimpse into the daily life of rural Dutch society in the 19th century.
