Æsel 1840 - 1843

"Æsel" is a detailed pen and ink drawing by Danish artist Andreas Flinch, created between 1840 and 1843. The artwork depicts a donkey standing in a stable, its body outlined with careful hatching and cross-hatching. The donkey's head is turned towards the viewer, its ears erect and a bridle visible around its muzzle. Flinch's meticulous detail and the donkey's contemplative pose give the work a sense of realism, showcasing his skill in capturing the subtle anatomy of the animal. "Æsel" is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen, Denmark.
