This powerfully-drawn study of a donkey is typical of the animal drawings that van Bloemen executed during his long stay in Italy, circa 1674-94. To judge by the numbering on both sides of the sheet, it must originally have formed part of a sketchbook, or pattern book of studies that could subsequently be used as the basis for motifs in paintings. Although this donkey is not precisely reproduced in any of the artist's surviving paintings, it appears in a more elaborate version, in the same attitude but more heavily laden with baggage and wearing a decorative plume on its head, in a painting in Stockolm (cat. 1958, no. 1106)
