Vier dode kraaien hangend aan een muur 1856 - 1897

"Vier dode kraaien hangend aan een muur" is an etching by Henri-Charles Guérard, a Dutch artist known for his detailed and realistic depictions of animals. Created between 1856 and 1897, the artwork portrays four dead crows hanging from a wall, their bodies contorted in a macabre dance. The stark black-and-white composition evokes a sense of stillness and mortality, highlighting the fragility of life. The intricate details of the crows' feathers and the subtle textures of the wall create a sense of realism, drawing the viewer into the unsettling scene. Today, the artwork is housed in the Rijksmuseum, providing a glimpse into Guérard's artistic vision and his fascination with the natural world.
