"Jonge Stier" (Young Bull) is an etching by Johann Christian Reinhart, a Swiss-German artist known for his landscapes and animal depictions. Created in 1794, this small-scale artwork (165 mm x 192 mm) showcases Reinhart's meticulous attention to detail in portraying the anatomy of the bull. The etching depicts a bull resting under a tree, while other cattle graze in the distance, suggesting a tranquil pastoral scene. The use of shading and hatching creates a sense of volume and depth, enhancing the realism of the bull's form. This artwork demonstrates Reinhart's skill in capturing the beauty and naturalism of the animal world.
