Frans Snijders's "Een zittende hond, zich ontlastend, van opzij en van achteren gezien" (1589-1657) is a pencil study of two dogs, both viewed from the side and behind. This quick sketch, housed in the Rijksmuseum, highlights Snijders's skill in capturing the anatomy of animals, particularly the posture of dogs. The loose lines and subtle shading in the drawing give an impression of movement and naturalism.
