Max, løbende hund 1819

"Max, løbende hund" (Max, Running Dog) is an etching created in 1819 by Danish artist Christian David Gebauer (1777-1831). This small, delicate artwork, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, captures a dog in mid-leap with great detail and dynamism. Gebauer’s focus on the animal’s movement and expression showcases his mastery of etching, a technique that allows for subtle shading and nuanced linework. This charming depiction of a dog's energy and playful spirit makes it a popular piece among art lovers and dog enthusiasts alike.
