To hunde 1810 - 1873

"To hunde" is a pencil drawing by Danish artist Wilhelm Marstrand, created between 1810 and 1873. The small-scale artwork, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, features three quick sketches of dogs. These studies, possibly created as preparatory work for a larger painting, showcase Marstrand's keen observation of animal anatomy and his mastery of line. The simplicity of the drawings highlights the artist's ability to capture the essence of his subject with minimal detail. The work is a testament to Marstrand's versatility as an artist and his interest in the natural world.
