"Stehender Faselochse nach links" is a red chalk drawing by the German Baroque artist Johann Melchior Roos, created in 1700. The drawing depicts a standing aurochs, a type of extinct wild cattle, in profile, with a focus on the animal's muscular form. Roos, renowned for his animal studies, captures the aurochs's powerful presence through precise lines and detailed anatomical rendering. This drawing is a testament to Roos's skill in animal depiction and offers viewers a glimpse into the world of Baroque animal studies.
