De eekhoorn 1894 - 1959

"De Eekhoorn" (The Squirrel) is a chromolithograph from the Netherlands by the artist Gordinne, dating to between 1894 and 1959. The print depicts a squirrel perched on a tree branch, holding an acorn in its paws. The squirrel is drawn with meticulous detail and realistic color, against a backdrop of foliage. The image is an example of the natural history illustration genre, common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
