Greyhound 1501

Albrecht Dürer's "Greyhound" (1501) is a masterfully detailed silverpoint drawing of a greyhound standing in profile. The artist, who was a leading figure of the Northern Renaissance, is known for his meticulous attention to detail and realistic depiction of subjects. This drawing showcases Dürer's skill in capturing the anatomy and musculature of the animal, creating a sense of both strength and grace. The drawing, now housed in the Royal Collection at Buckingham Palace, London, is a testament to Dürer's mastery of the silverpoint technique.
