Kop van een ezel, naar rechts 1821

"Kop van een ezel, naar rechts" (Head of a Donkey, facing right), is a graphite drawing created in 1821 by Dutch artist Jean Bernard (1765-1833). The drawing features a detailed depiction of a donkey's head, captured with careful attention to the animal's fur, harness, and bridle. This piece showcases Bernard's skill in capturing the essence of a subject, and the simple composition and delicate lines make it a compelling example of animal portraiture in 19th-century Dutch art. The drawing is currently held in the Rijksmuseum.
