Ruiter met hond 1778 - 1838

"Ruiter met hond" (Rider with a Dog) is a drawing by Anthonie van den Bos, a Dutch painter and draftsman, created between 1778 and 1838. The drawing depicts a rider on horseback, with a dog at the bottom of the composition, executed in a dynamic style, demonstrating a masterful understanding of anatomy. Van den Bos’s work, often focusing on scenes of daily life and landscape, is known for its sensitive use of light and shadow, as seen in this drawing. The artwork, currently residing in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the artistic talent of this 18th-century artist.
