Jonge wulpen op de heide c. 1900 - 1940

"Jonge wulpen op de heide" (Young Lapwings on the Heath) is a black and white photograph by Richard Tepe, a Dutch photographer known for his nature photography. The image, created between 1900 and 1940, depicts a close-up of a nest of young lapwings nestled amongst the brush and grasses of a heath. Tepe's keen eye for detail is evident in the sharp focus on the birds' downy feathers and the intricate patterns of the surrounding vegetation. The photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the beauty and vulnerability of these young creatures in their natural habitat.
