"Wekop", an 1821 etching by Danish artist Christian David Gebauer (1777-1831), depicts a detailed and lifelike portrait of a dog standing on a grassy mound. The dog is shown in profile, its head turned slightly towards the viewer, with a focus on its musculature and fine details. This drawing is part of a series of animal studies by the artist, which are now held at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
