Blad met dieren c. 1800

"Blad met dieren" (Leaf with Animals) is a c. 1800 artwork by Paul Reimund, a German artist known for his woodcuts. This piece features a dense composition of various animals depicted in a simple, almost silhouette-like style, rendered in gold on a purple background. The animals are arranged in a seemingly random pattern, creating a playful and whimsical scene. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, reflects Reimund's fascination with the natural world, offering a glimpse into the diversity of animal life.
