"Kop van een liggende hond met halsband" (Head of a Reclining Dog with Collar) is a 1894 etching by Dutch artist Joseph Schippers (1868-1950). The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases a detailed and realistic depiction of a dog's head in profile. The etching's small dimensions (99 mm x 85 mm) highlight the artist's skillful rendering of detail and depth, creating a sense of intimacy and focus on the animal subject. The dog's collar, a prominent feature in the composition, emphasizes the connection between humans and animals. Schippers' work often depicted everyday life, capturing moments of quiet observation and highlighting the beauty in the ordinary.
