Musicerende man met hond 1855 - 1904

This etching, "Musicerende man met hond," created by Arnoud Schaepkens between 1855 and 1904, depicts a man seated in a chair, playing a musical instrument with a child standing before him. A dog sits attentively at the man's feet, adding to the intimate scene. The artist's masterful use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture, contributing to the realism of the composition. This work exemplifies Schaepkens' talent for capturing the everyday moments of life, portraying a domestic scene with a touch of warmth and tenderness.
