Staand paard 1624 - 1700

"Staand paard" is a 17th century etching by the Dutch artist Jan van Aken. The artwork depicts a standing horse in a landscape with another horse and a human figure in the background. The meticulous detail in the etching, particularly in the horse's musculature, demonstrates van Aken's skill in animal anatomy. This small, yet detailed, artwork exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age's interest in naturalism and precise observation.
