"Kalkoen en twee konijnen" (Turkey and Two Rabbits) is a small etching by Johann Friedrich Gottlieb Unger, a German-Dutch artist known for his animal studies. The detailed rendering of the turkey, its feathers meticulously depicted, and the two rabbits, one peering at the viewer, exemplifies Unger's skill in capturing animal life. This artwork, dating from 1763 to 1804, is part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam, showcasing Unger's contribution to the art of animal illustration during the 18th century.
