1700
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Two Hinnies is a 1700 ink by Jan Both, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a quiet, wooded landscape with a small stream winding through it. Two horses stand near the water, grazing on the grass. Trees with twisted branches fill the scene, and the sky above is faint but visible. The artist used fine lines to create texture, making the trees and water look almost three-dimensional. This style was common in etchings of the time. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
Jan Dirksz Both was a Dutch painter, draughtsman, and etcher, who made an important contribution to the development of Dutch Italianate landscape painting.
