Gevleugelde zeeleeuw met golvende manen en een baard c. 1526 - 1606

This small etching by Adam Fuchs, dating to between 1526 and 1606, depicts a winged sea lion with flowing mane and beard. The intricate detail of the fur, wings, and scales is achieved through hatching and cross-hatching techniques, characteristic of Renaissance engravings. This small but detailed work showcases Fuchs' mastery of the medium and highlights his interest in fantastical creatures, a common motif in Renaissance art. The piece is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
