Gertrude Koch's "Chalkware Greyhound" is a charming, hand-painted watercolor depiction of a grayhound sculpted in chalk. The artwork, dating back to 1941, showcases a keen eye for detail in capturing the hound's elegant form. Its elongated body and graceful posture are rendered with delicate brushstrokes, while the addition of a yellow base lends a touch of warmth and vibrancy. Koch's work exemplifies the enduring appeal of animal subjects in art, capturing the beauty and grace of a beloved canine.
