Libische geit before 1650

This etching, *Libische geit*, created by Italian artist Antonio Tempesta before 1650, depicts a Libyan goat. It features a detailed rendering of the animal’s long, thick fur, evident in the intricate hatching used by Tempesta. The goat's horns are particularly prominent and suggest the animal's wild nature. This work showcases Tempesta's skill as a naturalist and his interest in depicting the diversity of the animal kingdom. It can be found in the Rijksmuseum.
