Peut-on la contempler ?
Amsterdam, Pays-Bas
Le propriétaire est connu. Si elle est exposée aujourd’hui, le musée ne le dit pas, et l’on ne nous a pas appris à deviner.
In the early 19th century the mayor of Bruges, Van Huerne, had the Historia Naturalis rebound. The drawings were pasted onto pages provided with framing lines and the name of each creature inscribed in the Dutch, Latin and French forms of the time. He also commissioned artists to add surrounding details and a background to the drawings. As a result, this donkey ended up standing on a grassy patch.
