Grazende ezel, van links 1750 - 1809

David Alphonse de Sandoz-Rollin's "Grazende ezel, van links" is a detailed pen and ink drawing depicting a donkey grazing in a field. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the animal's fur and the subtle shading of the donkey's body. The drawing is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the beauty and grace of animals through his art. The donkey, with its head bent low to the ground, is rendered with a sense of realism and tranquility, highlighting Sandoz-Rollin's mastery of animal portraiture. The artist, born in 1740 and active in the late 18th century, was known for his naturalistic approach to animal studies. This piece showcases his ability to convey the essence of the animal's character through meticulous line work. This 18th-century drawing, measuring 101 mm high and 145 mm wide, is a fine example of animal studies in art.
