Hundehvalpen. Illustration til Kaalunds "Fabler for Børn". Se kommentar fra arkkatalog. 1843

"Hundehvalpen" (The Puppy) is an 1843 pen and ink drawing by Danish artist Johan Thomas Lundbye. This detailed illustration, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a playful puppy looking curiously at a larger, chained dog resting in a doghouse. The work was created for Kaalund's "Fabler for Børn" (Fables for Children) and showcases Lundbye's skill in capturing the subtle nuances of animal behavior. This intimate scene evokes a sense of childhood curiosity and wonder, characteristic of Lundbye's naturalistic style.
