Twee konijnen 1862 - 1930

"Twee konijnen" (Two Rabbits) is a small etching created by Dutch artist Herman Johannes van der Weele between 1862 and 1930. The artwork depicts two rabbits, one white and one dark, seated close together in a naturalistic, almost intimate setting. The etching is noted for its detailed, realistic depiction of the animals' fur and textures, showcasing van der Weele's masterful use of line and shading in the etching process. This piece demonstrates his talent for portraying animal subjects with both accuracy and emotional depth. The small size and intimate subject matter suggest a focus on personal observation and detail, typical of van der Weele's animal studies.
