To hunde 1831

"To hunde" (Two Dogs), an etching created in 1831 by Danish artist Oluf Olufsen Bagge (1780-1836), showcases two dogs in a simple yet detailed style. The smaller dog stands calmly in the foreground while the larger dog stands with its head tilted back, its posture suggesting an alert or playful demeanor. This artwork, now held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Denmark, exemplifies Bagge's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects through precise linework and subtle shading, creating a sense of realism and charm.
