Theo van Hoytema's 1892 illustration, “Vanaf de grond kijkt een groep vogels op naar een biddende arend,” depicts a group of birds looking up at a praying eagle with text surrounding them. This black-and-white artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the artist's distinctive style of drawing, utilizing simple lines and shading to create a whimsical scene with a clear sense of depth. The text in the artwork emphasizes the symbolism of the eagle as a king and a symbol of power and authority. The artwork's subtle humor and intricate detail make it a captivating example of late 19th-century Dutch illustration.
