Man vanaf een steen op rug van een ezel stappend bij ruïnes 1641 - 1685

This etching, "Man vanaf een steen op rug van een ezel stappend bij ruïnes," by Johann Heinrich Roos, shows a man stepping off a rock onto the back of a donkey in a mountainous landscape. The artwork, created between 1641-1685, is a small-scale, detailed depiction of a man and his donkey in a rural setting, with a looming mountain range behind them and a distant, ruined structure suggesting a sense of history and decay. Roos was known for his depictions of animals and landscapes, and his work often explored themes of human interaction with the natural world. The etchings, like this one, were a popular medium for artists of the time, and helped to bring their work to a wider audience.
