Four studies of a frog, Jacques de Gheyn (II), 1600 - 1604

brush, h 142mm × w 196mm More details

Jacques de Gheyn possibly made these studies of a frog during a dissection. He was clearly fascinated by the animal and his depiction is very lifelike. The shadows reinforce the realism. At the same time, the drawing attests to a scientific curiosity about the animal’s anatomy.
