Drie hondenkoppen en -poten 1793

"Drie hondenkoppen en -poten" (Three Dog Heads and Paws) is an etching created in 1793 by Dutch artist Martin Ferdinand Quadal, known for his detailed animal studies. This artwork is a prime example of his meticulous attention to detail and anatomical accuracy. The print features three dog heads, a sleeping dog, and various paws, arranged in a dynamic composition. Quadal's skilled use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of volume and texture, making the dog's fur appear almost lifelike. This study serves as a valuable resource for artists and animal enthusiasts alike.
