Bokken 1648 - 1691

"Bokken" is an etching by Albert Flamen, created between 1648 and 1691. This small-scale print depicts two goats in a rural landscape. One goat is standing, while the other is lying down. Flamen's use of line and shading creates a sense of realism and detail in the animal forms. The print, with its simple composition and focus on animal subjects, is characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age tradition of animal studies. Its small size suggests it was likely meant for private collection and study.
