About this work

This etching depicts a donkey, its head turned to the right, standing in front of a stone building. The donkey is adorned with a large basket on its back, and several chickens are scattered around it. In the background, a tree stands to the right of the building, and the sky above is filled with clouds. The artist's use of shading and texture creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the image. The donkey's fur and the stone building are rendered in intricate detail, giving the scene a sense of realism. The National Gallery of Art, Washington, holds this etching, offering a glimpse into the artistic style of the Romanticism movement.
