Trekos met juk 1860

"Trekos met juk" (Oxen with Yoke), an etching by Jacobus Cornelis Gaal (1796–1866), depicts a single ox pulling a yoke in a landscape setting. The print, created in 1860, demonstrates Gaal's mastery of line and detail, showcasing the intricate patterns of the ox's fur and the textured landscape. The work is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Gaal's work, often focused on animals and rural life, provides a glimpse into the working world of 19th-century Netherlands.
