En sovende lænkehund 1853

"En sovende lænkehund" (A Sleeping Chained Dog) is a black and white drawing created by Danish artist A.P. Madsen in 1853. The drawing depicts a large dog resting on a cobblestone ground outside a building. The dog's body is depicted in meticulous detail and is positioned in a relaxed pose. The artist's signature, "P. Madsen 1853", is present in the lower right corner of the drawing. The artwork, currently located at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a fine example of Madsen's skill in capturing animal anatomy and depicting realistic scenes.
