Zittende hond 1777

"Zittende hond" (Sitting Dog), a red chalk drawing created in 1777 by Dutch artist Cornelis Brouwer, depicts a seated dog with its head turned to the side. The drawing is a fine example of Brouwer's meticulous attention to detail, as the artist carefully captures the dog's fur, posture, and overall form. The artwork, which is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Brouwer's artistic practice and his interest in animal subjects.
