En langhåret hund 1846

"En langhåret hund" (1846), a black and white etching by Johannes Wilhelm Zillen, depicts a long-haired dog lying in front of a wooden door. The dog's fur is intricately detailed and its posture conveys a sense of calm. The simple composition and realistic depiction of the animal are characteristic of Zillen's animalistic style. This small-scale work, currently housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Zillen's interest in capturing the beauty and character of everyday animals.
