This 17th century etching by Italian artist Antonio Tempesta is a depiction of a mythical creature called "Eenhoornige ezel" (Unicorn donkey). It is a detailed and expressive representation of a donkey with a single horn on its head, galloping through a mountainous landscape. Tempesta's masterful use of hatching and cross-hatching techniques creates a sense of depth and realism. The artwork, titled "Onager Indicu", is a powerful testament to Tempesta's skill as an artist, and his interest in the natural world. It is a fine example of the artistic style of the late Renaissance.
