Twee honden 1834 - 1890

"Twee Honden" is a black and white etching created by Belgian artist Charles Verlat, known for his detailed animal portraits. The artwork depicts two dogs: one large breed resting in a dog house, while a smaller dog in the foreground gnaws on a bone. The detail in the etching, particularly in the fur of the dogs, showcases Verlat's mastery of this medium. The composition and subject matter, focused on the dogs' interactions, make this a charming example of animal art, which was popular in 19th-century Europe.
