Fotoreproductie van een prent naar een schilderij van Edwin Henry Landseer c. 1860 - 1870

This is a photo reproduction of a print after a painting by Edwin Henry Landseer, dating back to the mid-19th century. The image shows a white poodle, seated at a table with an open book and writing implements, surrounded by other dogs. The artist, unknown, captured the scene in a humorous, anthropomorphic manner, giving the dogs human-like qualities as they engage in an activity typically associated with humans. The title, "Laying down the Law," reinforces the playful nature of the artwork. This print is a testament to the enduring popularity of Landseer's work, especially his depictions of animals. The photograph is part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
