Jonge stier 1828 - 1886

"Jonge stier" (Young Bull) is a detailed etching by Dutch artist Dirk van Lokhorst, created between 1828 and 1886. It is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam. The etching depicts a young bull, its head lowered as it eats from a basket of hay. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the animal's musculature, the texture of the hay, and the woven basket. This intimate portrait of a young bull is an example of Lokhorst's talent for animal studies, showcasing the natural world through precise and expressive line work.
