"Adelaar en hond" (Eagle and Dog) is a 1796 etching by Henri Keller, a Dutch artist who is known for his work in the genre of animal art. The piece features a large eagle perched on a rock, clutching a small dog in its talons. The artist's use of fine detail in the depiction of the eagle's feathers and the dog's struggle adds a sense of realism to the scene, raising questions about the nature of power dynamics between animals, which is often used in Dutch art. The artwork is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
