"Os en een ezel" (Ox and a Donkey) is an etching created by the Dutch Golden Age artist Karel du Jardin between 1652 and 1659. The artwork depicts a detailed, realistic representation of a cow and a donkey standing in a field. Du Jardin was known for his masterful depiction of animals, which he portrayed with great precision and anatomical accuracy. This etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Du Jardin's skill in capturing the natural world with detail and sensitivity.
