Vignet fremstillende to høns, der pikker korn op 1786

"Vignet fremstillende to høns, der pikker korn op," an engraving by J.F. Clemens, dates from 1786. This intricate print features two chickens pecking at grain within a finely detailed, ornately carved cage. The composition is a delicate balance of line and shadow, conveying a sense of both realism and artistry. Clemens, known for his precise detail and mastery of linework, was a skilled engraver of the late 18th century. The small size of the print, measuring 76 mm by 97 mm, suggests it was intended as a decorative element or a vignette within a larger work.
