Varkens 1636 - 1705

This anonymous etching, titled "Varkens," depicts a group of wild boars in a rural setting, likely in the Dutch countryside. Created between 1636 and 1705, the artwork showcases the artist's keen eye for detail, capturing the rough textures and powerful presence of the boars. The scene unfolds against a backdrop of a stone building and a distant cityscape, suggesting a moment of encounter between human civilization and the natural world. The etching's small size and intricate details make it a compelling example of 17th-century Dutch printmaking.
