"Wasferman" is an 1821 etching by Danish artist Christian David Gebauer (1777-1831). The print, held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a dog standing in profile, its body rendered in precise detail with a light background. The artwork is a fine example of Gebauer's ability to capture the animal's form with precision and elegance.
