Blad met twee platen: everzwijn en das 1740 - 1745

This etching by Johan Eric Rehn, created between 1740 and 1745, features two distinct animal studies: a wild boar and a badger. The boar, lying on its side with its head resting on the ground, is depicted in detail, showing the artist's keen observation of the animal's form and texture. The badger, curled up on the ground, is similarly rendered with careful attention to its fur and posture. Rehn's work exemplifies the artistic tradition of naturalism, capturing the beauty and inherent dignity of these creatures. The etching, "Blad met twee platen: everzwijn en das," is a testament to Rehn's skill as a draftsman and engraver, and his interest in the natural world.
