Adam von Bartsch's 1815 etching, *Staande ezel voor een liggende hond en een slapende man*, depicts a donkey standing over a sleeping man and a dog lying down. The artwork, currently at the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates the artist's mastery of depicting animals and humans in a naturalistic yet expressive manner. The simplicity of the composition, with the donkey as the central figure, creates a captivating scene of quiet contemplation and subtle humor. Bartsch's detailed rendering of the textures of the animals, the man's clothing, and the ground enhances the realism of the scene.
