Vertelling over man en ezel. Zeevogels Possibly 1778

This work by Dutch artist Jan Brandes (1743-1808) is a detailed depiction of seabirds, likely albatrosses, in flight. The drawing, possibly from 1778, appears to be a page from a larger sketchbook, featuring additional sketches of a man on a donkey and a small boat. The meticulous rendering of the birds' plumage and wingspan showcases Brandes' keen observation and mastery of naturalism, offering a glimpse into the artist's artistic journey and his exploration of the natural world.
