Kop van een bont kalfje 1851

"Kop van een bont kalfje" (Head of a spotted calf) is an etching created by Dutch artist Jacobus Cornelis Gaal in 1851. This small-scale artwork, measuring only 53 mm in height and 48 mm in width, depicts a calf's head in a simple yet detailed style. The use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of texture and form. This etching, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Gaal's skill in capturing the beauty of everyday subjects.
