Slagsmålet 1845

"Slagsmålet" (The Fight) is a lithograph by Danish artist Adolph Kittendorff, created in 1845. The artwork depicts a dynamic scene of two dogs engaged in a fierce struggle. One dog, a larger, shaggy breed, lunges at a smaller, curly-haired dog. The scene is rendered in black and white, highlighting the details of the dogs' fur and musculature. Kittendorff's masterful use of line and shading captures the intensity of the fight, showcasing his skill in capturing animal anatomy and movement. The work is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
