Tekening uit archief Jan Veth 1848 - 1927

This is a graphite drawing by August Allebé, a Dutch artist known for his animal studies. The drawing titled "Tekening uit archief Jan Veth," depicts two polar bears, a mother and cub, resting. The drawing is a simple composition, focusing on the animals' forms and textures. The artist used a combination of hatching and shading to create a sense of volume and depth. This drawing, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Allebé's skill in depicting the animal kingdom with sensitivity and detail.
