Ezel, schapen en een geit 1655 - 1688

"Ezel, schapen en een geit" (Donkey, Sheep and a Goat) is a 17th-century etching by Dutch artist Govert van der Leeuw. The print depicts a donkey, sheep and goats in a mountainous landscape. The donkey is on the left, its back is covered with a blanket and it is looking down at the sheep. There are other animals in the background, seemingly resting in the shadow of a building. Van der Leeuw was known for his detailed depictions of animals, which are presented here with impressive realism. The work is a testament to his skills as an etcher and animal painter. The artwork is a small piece, measuring 109 mm in height and 138 mm in width.
