Landschap met kalkoen after 1659

This anonymous etching, likely created after 1659, depicts a turkey in a detailed, almost scientific manner. The artist uses cross-hatching to create a sense of volume and texture in the bird's feathers and skin, emphasizing its physical characteristics. The inscription beneath the turkey, "Indianischer Hahn," suggests a connection to the newly discovered Americas, where turkeys were first encountered. This etching is a testament to the growing interest in natural history in the 17th century.
