Zittende haan 1617 - 1681

"Zittende haan" is an etching by Dutch artist Cornelis Saftleven, created between 1617 and 1681. The small-scale print depicts a rooster in a detailed, almost fluffy, manner, showcasing Saftleven's mastery of linework and detail. The work's realistic depiction of the animal is characteristic of Saftleven's artistic style, which often included animal studies and still life compositions. While the artwork is small in size, it demonstrates the artist's skillful rendering of the rooster's plumage and overall form.
