Staand paard en een liggende hond 1750 - 1809

"Staand paard en een liggende hond" is a pen and ink drawing by Swiss artist David Alphonse de Sandoz-Rollin (1740-1809), created sometime between 1750 and 1809. The drawing, which is only 74 mm high and 142 mm wide, depicts a standing horse and a dog lying down behind a fence, suggesting a rural, pastoral scene. The loose, gestural style of the drawing captures a sense of movement and energy, typical of 18th-century animal studies. Sandoz-Rollin, a prolific artist, is known for his drawings and paintings of animals, often capturing them in realistic and expressive ways.
