About this work

This etching on laid paper shows four donkeys grazing in a field. The donkeys are depicted in various poses, with some eating and others looking around. The artist has used bold lines and shading to create a sense of texture and depth in the image. The donkeys are the main focus of the image, and the artist has captured their gentle nature and movements. The field in the background is suggested by a few lines and shading, giving the impression of a rural landscape.
