Staande geit, naar rechts 1775 - 1833

"Staande geit, naar rechts" is a graphite drawing by Jean Bernard, a Dutch artist known for his depictions of animals, dated between 1775 and 1833. The drawing, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, features a detailed and lifelike portrayal of a goat standing in a field, its head turned towards the viewer with a slight tilt, emphasizing its characteristic features. Bernard's keen eye for detail and realistic style are evident in the depiction of the goat's textured fur, curved horns, and the subtle rendering of the surrounding grassy ground. The drawing's simplicity, focusing solely on the animal and its environment, showcases Bernard's skill in capturing the essence of his subject.
