Twee liggende kalveren 1791

"Twee liggende kalveren" (Two Reclining Calves) is a 1791 etching by German artist Johann Christian Reinhart. The image depicts two calves lying in a grassy field, their heads turned slightly towards the viewer, one partially obscuring the other. The detailed hatching and cross-hatching techniques used by Reinhart give the work a sense of realism, creating a sense of depth and texture in their bodies and the surrounding landscape. This drawing is considered one of Reinhart's most well-known and admired works, showcasing his mastery of animal anatomy and his ability to capture the delicate beauty of nature.
