Vogel c. 1580 - 1590

"Vogel" is an etching by Jacques de Fornazeris, a 16th-century Flemish artist. The print depicts a bird, possibly a snipe, in a marsh. The bird's long beak is pointed towards the water, and its feathered body and legs are visible. The artist used hatching and cross-hatching techniques to create a sense of depth and texture. The print is an example of the 16th-century's fascination with natural history. It was created between 1580 and 1590, which predates De Fornazeris' birth in 1585.
