"Hier staat de trotze paauw te prijken / Met al zijn veeren uitgespreyt / De haan zal het u in moed niet wijken; Terwijl de hen de eyeren leyd," (Here stands the proud peacock showing off / With all its feathers spread / The rooster will not flinch in courage; While the hen lays the eggs) is an etching and engraving from the 1725-1780s by Johannes (II) Kannewet. This Dutch print depicts a proud peacock displaying its plumage, with a rooster and three hens. The artist captured the contrasting colors of the peacock's feathers and the roosters in detail, showcasing his mastery of etching and engraving techniques. This artwork is a fine example of Dutch art, featuring a detailed naturalism and realistic portrayal of animals, common in the genre of animal print.
