Calf Feeding, from Die Zweite Thierfolge 1800

"Calf Feeding" is an etching by Johann Christian Reinhart, part of his series "Die Zweite Thierfolge" (The Second Animal Series) from 1800. This detailed print showcases Reinhart's meticulous skill in capturing the form and texture of a calf grazing in a rural setting. The use of stippling and hatching in the etching creates a sense of depth and realism, highlighting the calf's muscular structure and the delicate details of the surrounding foliage. The print is a testament to Reinhart's interest in naturalism and his ability to convey the beauty and tranquility of the animal world through his art.
