The Two Hinnies

Jan Both

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two oxen walking on a winding path in a rocky landscape. The scene is detailed with trees and rugged terrain. The etching technique highlights the textures of rocks, leaves, and animals in intricate lines. The color palette is monochromatic in shades of grey, emphasizing light and shadow for depth. In the background, a lone figure guides another animal through a narrow pass. Two birds are flying in the upper left sky.
