"Hond" (Dog), created between 1768 and 1796 by Dutch artist Pieter de Mare, is an etching depicting a large dog standing in front of a wooden structure. De Mare is known for his detailed engravings of animals and the work is housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The realistic representation of the dog, with its shaggy fur and strong stance, exemplifies the 18th-century Dutch fascination with animal portraiture.
