Hond, staand op een stoel 1884 - 1952

"Hond, staand op een stoel" (Dog Standing on a Chair), created between 1884 and 1952 by Dutch artist Reinier Willem Petrus de Vries (1874-1953), is a striking example of woodcut printmaking. The piece showcases a bold, simplified silhouette of a dog standing on a chair, its form outlined against a patterned background. The stark contrast between the dark dog and the light, textured background creates a sense of depth and dynamism, highlighting de Vries's mastery of this traditional printmaking technique.
