"Hond op de binnenplaats" (Dog in the Courtyard) is an etching created by Belgian artist Henri Kervyn van Lettenhove in 1879. The print depicts a dog, named Jack, lying on a wooden floor within a simple courtyard setting. The artist utilizes detailed hatching and cross-hatching techniques to create a sense of texture and depth, enhancing the realism of the dog's fur and the surrounding environment. This work showcases Kervyn van Lettenhove's talent for capturing the subtle nuances of light and shadow, resulting in a compelling and intimate portrayal of animal life.
