Liggende geit 1780 - 1855

"Liggende geit" (Lying Goat) is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Jan Dasveldt, created between 1780 and 1855. The artwork depicts a goat lying down in a grassy field, partially shaded by a tree. Dasveldt's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the careful rendering of the goat's fur and the surrounding foliage. The drawing's intimate scale, measuring only 144 mm in height and 182 mm in width, suggests a focus on the subtle nuances of nature. This piece exemplifies Dasveldt's skill in animal portraiture and his talent for capturing the essence of his subjects.
