Paarden beladen met hooi 1686 - 1710

"Paarden beladen met hooi" (Horses Loaded with Hay), created between 1686-1710 by Georg Conrad Bodenehr, depicts a scene of everyday life with a group of men loading hay onto horses. The etching, a small work measuring 122 mm in height and 159 mm in width, captures the detail of the men's clothing, the horses' anatomy, and the surrounding landscape. The scene is rendered in a realistic style characteristic of Bodenehr's oeuvre. While Bodenehr was known for his hunting scenes, "Paarden beladen met hooi" demonstrates his ability to depict everyday life with equal skill.
