Studieblad met honden, paarden, geiten en een hert 1849 - 1895

This is a study sheet by Willem Koekkoek, a Dutch painter known for his landscape scenes. Dated between 1849-1895, this drawing is a collection of sketches of horses, dogs, goats, and a deer. The delicate pencil strokes capture the animals in various poses and perspectives, suggesting a study for a larger composition. The work, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, showcases Koekkoek's mastery of animal anatomy and his interest in natural observation. The sheet offers insight into the artist's preparatory process and demonstrates his talent for capturing the essence of animal form.
