This etching, titled "Eenhoorn," by Italian artist Antonio Tempesta (1555-1630), depicts a unicorn running across a landscape. The detailed lines and shading in the print, which measures 95mm x 137mm, give the creature a sense of realism and movement. The unicorn is a mythical creature, often associated with purity and power, making the piece a captivating blend of the real and the fantastical. It was likely created before 1650 and is now housed in the Rijksmuseum.
