Liggende hond naar links 1811 - 1867

"Liggende hond naar links" (Lying dog to the left) is a pen and ink drawing created by Christiaan Wilhelmus Moorrees between 1811 and 1867. The small-scale drawing, measuring 80 mm by 90 mm, depicts a dog lying down with its head resting on its paws, facing towards the left of the composition. The dog is sketched in a realistic style with detailed rendering of its fur and facial features, showcasing Moorrees' keen observation skills. The image is set against a simple background suggesting an outdoor setting, likely a garden or courtyard, with a brick wall partially visible in the background. This work demonstrates Moorrees' talent for capturing animal subjects with sensitivity and precision.
