1700
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Hinny Drover, via Appia is a 1700 ink by Jan Both, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
I see a painting of a man driving a hinny, a hybrid of a male donkey and a female horse, down a road. The man is dressed in 17th-century clothing and is holding a stick to guide the hinny. In the background, there are trees and a building. The painting is done in a style that suggests a focus on light and shadow, with the man and hinny being the main subjects. The background is less detailed, but it adds context to the scene. The painting is an example of Baroque art, which was popular in Europe during the 17th century.
Jan Dirksz Both was a Dutch painter, draughtsman, and etcher, who made an important contribution to the development of Dutch Italianate landscape painting.
