Schets van een liggende vos of hond 1878 - 1943

This small-scale pencil sketch by Willem van Konijnenburg, titled "Schets van een liggende vos of hond" (Sketch of a Lying Fox or Dog), was created between 1878 and 1943. It depicts the animal in a relaxed pose, with its head resting on its paws. The artist’s use of line and shading provides a sense of volume and form, creating a feeling of movement within the sketch. This work demonstrates the artist's exploration of animal anatomy and form in a quick and gestural style, likely serving as a preliminary study for a larger work.
