EDITORS COMMENTS
This sheet of studies, created by Dutch artist Albertus Steenbergen in 1834, showcases the intricate details of two distinct amphibian species: the green water frog on the left and the brown land frog on the right. The artist meticulously captured the unique characteristics of each frog, highlighting their differences in coloration, body shape, and features. The green water frog, also known as the common water frog or European common frog (Pelophylax esculentus), is depicted in its vibrant, olive-green coloration. Its webbed feet are perfectly adapted for swimming in water, and its body is slender and elongated. The green coloration serves as excellent camouflage in its aquatic environment. In contrast, the brown land frog, also known as the common frog or European common frog (Rana temporaria), is shown in its earthy, brown coloration. Its feet are less webbed, making it better suited for moving on land. The brown coloration helps it blend in with its surroundings on the forest floor. Steenbergen's masterful use of pencil and watercolor paint brings these amphibians to life, providing a glimpse into the natural world of the 19th century. This artwork is a testament to the artist's dedication to observing and documenting the intricacies of the natural world, making it an invaluable addition to the heritage of the arts. The Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands is home to this exquisite piece, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and diversity of these fascinating creatures.
