Kip met kuiken after 1659

This anonymous etching, created after 1659, depicts a hen and her chick in a rural setting. The image, which is part of a series of prints by the same unknown artist, showcases detailed hatching and cross-hatching techniques to render the texture of the birds' feathers and the surrounding landscape. The scene is further enlivened by the inclusion of a distant hill and a bird flying overhead, adding depth and movement to the composition. The small size of the etching, measuring only 67 mm by 99 mm, emphasizes the intimate and naturalistic portrayal of the hen and chick, highlighting their delicate features and the natural world they inhabit.
