Staande ezel 1866

Johannes Arnoldus Boland's "Staande ezel" (1866) is an etching depicting a donkey standing in profile against a simple background. The detailed rendering of the animal's anatomy showcases Boland's skill in capturing the essence of his subject. Boland was known for his animal studies, and this small-scale work reflects his dedication to capturing the natural world with precision. "Staande ezel," likely created as part of a larger series, demonstrates the artist's talent for detailed animal studies, which contribute to a broader appreciation for the beauty and intricacy of the natural world.
