"Liggend wild zwijn" (Reclining wild boar) is a 1801 etching by Jean Bernard (1765-1833) on display at the Rijksmuseum. The highly detailed artwork depicts a deceased wild boar lying on its side, its body rendered with meticulous detail. The artist’s mastery of light and shadow creates a sense of realism and drama, making the animal appear almost lifelike. Bernard’s meticulous rendering of the boar’s fur, anatomy, and the surrounding grasses highlights the intricate details of the natural world. The artwork exemplifies the Dutch tradition of animal studies and the artistic practice of "dead game" depictions in the 19th century.
