Reigerschedel op een Drentse almanak 1913 - 1915

"Reigerschedel op een Drentse almanak" (1913-1915) is a graphite drawing by Dutch artist Jan Mankes. Known for his precise, detailed drawings of animals and plants, Mankes captures the delicate structure of a heron skull with striking realism. The skull is positioned atop a folded almanac, creating a sense of stillness and contemplation. This work is a testament to Mankes's talent for portraying the beauty of the natural world, even in its most unexpected forms.
