This etching titled "Hert" by Antonio Tempesta, created before 1650, showcases a detailed depiction of a deer in profile. The artist's meticulous rendering of the animal's anatomy and the surrounding landscape emphasizes the naturalistic style popular during this period. This work, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a testament to Tempesta's skill in capturing the essence of the animal kingdom, making it a valuable piece for art and natural history enthusiasts.
