"Âne," a chromolithograph by firma Joseph Scholz, depicts a donkey standing in a field near a fence. The donkey is facing away from the viewer and its head is turned towards the viewer, showcasing the animal's distinctive features. The print was likely intended as a didactic tool, featuring labels in several languages, making it suitable for a broad audience. Its vibrant colors and detailed depiction of the animal exemplify the popular style of nature illustration popular in the 19th century.
