Kop van een ezel, naar links 1818

Jean Bernard's "Kop van een ezel, naar links" (Head of a Donkey, facing left) is a detailed pencil drawing from 1818, showcasing the artist's keen observation of animal anatomy. The donkey's head is rendered with remarkable realism, capturing the texture of its fur and the subtle nuances of its expression. This small-scale artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates Bernard's talent for capturing the essence of his subjects in simple yet expressive strokes.
