A donkey stands in profile on a patch of rough grass, head lowered, long ears tipped back, a halter rope hanging slack to the ground. The animal is drawn with close, fine lines that follow the shape of its body, from the shaggy neck to the thin legs. Behind it a low, open landscape fades away. In the upper left corner the plate is signed "I. Bassan delin." and "W. Hollar fecit, 1649": Hollar etched it after a drawing by Bassano.

Wenceslaus Hollar (1607–1677) was a Bohemian-born etcher who spent much of his working life in England. This plate shows his patient, exact line.

Lab-printed to order on luster photo paper in 8×10, 16×20, 24×30 and 40×50 inches. A gentle, slightly humorous picture for a kitchen, a hallway or a family room.
