Tempo 1821

"Tempo," an 1821 etching by Danish artist Christian David Gebauer, depicts a single dog standing in a grassy field. The dog is shown in profile, its head turned towards the viewer. Gebauer is known for his depictions of animals, particularly dogs, and this piece showcases his skill in capturing their anatomy and personality. The etching's simple composition and detailed lines create a sense of realism, while the subject's alert stance suggests a sense of energy and anticipation. "Tempo" is a testament to Gebauer's artistic talent and the enduring fascination with animal subjects in art.
