Kop van een stier 1766 - 1830

"Kop van een stier" (Head of a Bull), a small etching by Dutch artist Dirk van Oosterhoudt, exemplifies his detailed approach to animal portraiture. Created between 1766 and 1830, the print shows a close-up of a bull's head, rendered with meticulous detail, capturing the animal’s texture and musculature. The piece, measuring just 92 mm in height and 66 mm in width, demonstrates van Oosterhoudt's skill in conveying form and expression through the delicate lines of etching. This work is a testament to the artistic mastery of the artist, who was known for his studies of animals.
