Mambrina geit before 1650

"Mambrina geit" is an etching by Italian artist Antonio Tempesta, created before 1650. It depicts a Mambrina goat, a breed known for its distinctive long, shaggy hair. The goat is shown standing in profile against a backdrop of hills and trees, which creates a sense of depth and realism. The intricate details of the animal's fur and the surrounding landscape highlight Tempesta's skill in capturing the natural world. This artwork is a fine example of animal studies, a popular genre during the Renaissance, and is part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
