Geitenkop naar links 1780 - 1851

"Geitenkop naar links" is a small etching by Dutch artist Pieter Janson, dating from between 1780 and 1851, just a few years before the artist's death in 1851. The artwork depicts a close-up view of a goat's head in profile, with the animal's eyes closed. The artist's use of delicate lines and hatching creates a sense of texture and detail, capturing the goat's soft fur and expressive features. The drawing's simple composition and focus on the animal's form emphasize the natural beauty of the subject matter, which is typical of Janson's animal studies.
