Twee honden voor een doek 1796

Gerard van Nijmegen’s etching “Twee honden voor een doek” (1796) depicts two dogs in a landscape setting. The dogs are drawn in a realistic style with attention to detail, particularly in their fur and expressions. The etching is housed at the Rijksmuseum and is a prime example of Van Nijmegen's work, which is often characterized by its focus on animals and landscapes. The artist was known for his skills in capturing the anatomy and movement of animals, as well as his ability to render atmospheric effects.
