Hazenpootje 1775 - 1833

"Hazenpootje" (Hare's Foot) is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Jean Bernard, created between 1775 and 1833. The artwork depicts a single hare's foot, meticulously rendered in detail. The simple composition and focus on natural form are characteristic of naturalistic drawings of the period, and the work is a testament to Bernard's keen observational skills. The drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into Bernard's artistic approach and the fascination with the natural world that characterized 18th and 19th-century art.
