Twee pauwen, een kaketoe en een konijn 1597 - 1633

This engraving, "Twee pauwen, een kaketoe en een konijn," was created between 1597 and 1633 by Jean Leclerc (1582-1562). It depicts two peacocks, a cockatoo, and a rabbit within a simple, yet detailed, composition. The intricate detailing of the animals and surrounding objects, such as a ladder, a basket, and a jug, is characteristic of Leclerc's work. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, the engraving captures the beauty and charm of the animals, highlighting the artist's keen eye for detail and his mastery of the etching technique.
