Jan Mankes’ 1916 etching “Muis” depicts a detailed rendering of a mouse. Mankes, known for his meticulous depictions of animals, captures the creature's fur and whiskers with remarkable precision. The small size of the artwork, measuring only 70 mm in height and 100 mm in width, enhances the intimacy of the subject. The artist’s signature is visible in the lower right corner.
