Twee slapende eenden 1878 - 1909

"Twee slapende eenden" (Two Sleeping Ducks) is a print created between 1878 and 1909 by Dutch artist Theo van Hoytema, known for his naturalistic depictions of animals. This artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases two ducks in a peaceful slumber. The artist's use of subtle shading and detailed textures brings the ducks to life, capturing the delicate contours of their feathers and the gentle folds of their bodies. Van Hoytema's careful observation and skillful rendering make this print a compelling example of animal art.
