Bok before 1650

This detailed engraving, "Bok," was created by Italian artist Antonio Tempesta before 1650. The artwork depicts a Fallow deer, a species known for its distinctive antlers. The deer is rendered with meticulous detail, capturing the texture of its fur and the intricate curves of its horns. Tempesta was known for his masterful engravings of animals, and this work showcases his skill in capturing the anatomy and grace of his subjects. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and is a testament to Tempesta's contributions to the field of natural history illustration.
