Paard in stal 1860 - 1885

This etching, titled "Paard in stal" (Horse in a stable), was created between 1860 and 1885 by Dutch artist Jan Vrolijk, known for his detailed depictions of animals and everyday life. The artwork, held at the Rijksmuseum, shows a horse standing in a stable with a pair of chickens, and uses subtle shading to create a sense of depth and realism. The composition emphasizes the horse, its form rendered in a naturalistic style, which highlights Vrolijk's skillful use of etching techniques.
