"Rustend schaap, van voren gezien," a 1657 etching by Marcus de Bye, depicts a sheep resting in a field. The detailed rendering of the sheep's wool and the subtle landscape in the background suggest a focus on naturalism. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of animal studies popular in Dutch art during the Golden Age, and provides an insightful glimpse into the daily life and natural world of the time.
