Studies van een jachthond 1821 - 1891

Guillaume Anne van der Brugghen's "Studies van een jachthond" (Studies of a Hunting Dog), created between 1821 and 1891, consists of various sketches of a hunting dog in different positions. The artist, known for his animal studies, captures the dog's form with loose brushstrokes on a light brown paper ground. These sketches likely served as preliminary studies for a larger painting, showcasing the artist's meticulous observation of the subject. The intimate scale of the artwork emphasizes the details of the dog's features and fur, offering a glimpse into van der Brugghen's creative process.
