Man met een paard en honden 1739 - 1774

"Man met een paard en honden" (Man with a Horse and Dogs) is an etching by Pieter Anthony Wakkerdak, a Dutch artist who lived from 1729 to 1774. The artwork, created between 1739 and 1774, depicts a man standing next to two horses and a dog, with another dog running in the foreground. The etching's dark tones and detailed lines give a sense of depth and realism to the scene, typical of Wakkerdak's style. The work's small size, measuring 228 mm in height and 175 mm in width, suggests it may have been intended for a private collection or a personal study. Wakkerdak's meticulous detail in capturing the animal's anatomy and expressions is particularly noteworthy in this piece, showcasing the artist's skill and passion for animal portraiture.
