Schets van een opgezette eend 1848 - 1927

"Schets van een opgezette eend" is a graphite drawing on paper by Dutch artist August Allebé, created between 1848 and 1927, now on display at the Rijksmuseum. The drawing depicts a detailed study of a stuffed duck, rendered with meticulous attention to the bird's anatomy and plumage. Allebé's meticulous approach, often employed in his animal studies, exemplifies his realist style, prevalent in Dutch art during the 19th century.
