Peacock and Goose

Adriaen Collaert

National Gallery of Art

The monochrome engraving shows a peacock, a goose, and two ducks by a body of water. The detailed brushstrokes create textures on the birds' feathers and the water's surface. In the background, there is a village with a church and a bridge, surrounded by hills, trees, and a few figures on horseback. The color palette consists of shades of gray and black.
