Resting Wild Boar: A Detailed Etching - circa 1740

About the Item

This etching and engraving, titled "Sanglier" (Wild Boar), depicts a wild boar lying down, possibly resting or in a moment of repose. The artist has meticulously captured the texture of the boar’s coarse fur, the muscular build, and its distinct features such as the snout and tusks. The boar’s body is rendered with detailed lines and shading, giving it a lifelike and robust appearance. The background includes subtle elements of the natural environment, providing context without distracting from the central focus on the boar. This print reflects the artist's skill in portraying the wild and rugged character of the animal. The animal depicted, commonly known as a wild boar, belongs to the species *Sus scrofa*. Wild boars are native to a wide range of habitats across Europe, Asia, and North Africa, and they have also been introduced to the Americas and Oceania. They are highly adaptable and can be found in forests, grasslands, and agricultural areas. Wild boars are known for their strength, intelligence, and social behavior. The makers of the etching are Jacques-Philippe Le Bas and Jean Eric Rehn, based on the work of Jean-Baptiste Oudry. These artists collaborated to create detailed and elegant engravings of various animals.
