"Struisvogel" is a 1660 etching by Dutch artist Dirck de Bray. The artwork depicts an ostrich in a detailed and naturalistic style. The ostrich is shown standing on a rocky terrain with a tree in the background. De Bray was known for his scientific illustrations, and this etching is a testament to his skill in capturing the anatomy and characteristics of the ostrich. This artwork was likely part of a larger series of engravings depicting different animal species, reflecting the interest in natural history during the 17th century.
