From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Reynard Asks Permission to Speak is a 1650 ink by Allart van Everdingen, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a group of animals gathered around a rooster and a dog. The animals are standing on a rocky ground with trees in the background. The lines are scratchy and detailed, giving everything a textured look. The rooster is the center of attention, with other animals—like a horse, a cat, and a rabbit—looking at him. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and movement, making the scene feel lively. Next, look up etching to see how this technique works.
Allaert van Everdingen (Dutch pronunciation: ; bapt. 18 June 1621 – 8 November 1675 (buried)), was a Dutch Golden Age painter and printmaker in etching and mezzotint.
