Haan met esculaap 1884 - 1952

"Haan met esculaap" is a black and white ink drawing by Dutch artist Reinier Willem Petrus de Vries, created between 1884 and 1952. The artwork depicts a rooster with a staff of Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine and healing, behind it. The drawing is a study in line and form, and the artist's skillful use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture. This small-scale drawing (422 mm x 356 mm) showcases de Vries's talent for capturing the essence of his subject matter.
