Ernst Otto Reiniger (1841-73), a native of Stuttgart, was a landscape artist, studying there and in Munich, and producing a number of large landscape oils before his untimely death at age 32. His nephew was also a landscape artist, by virtue of which Ernst is known as Reiniger the Elder. This delightful animal study is done with the artist's characteristic exactitude, incorporating his meticulous brushwork.
