Sitting Dog c. 1775 - 1795

"Sitting Dog" is a pen and wash drawing created by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo between 1775 and 1795. The drawing depicts a dog in a seated position, with the animal's head turned to the side. The artist's signature appears in the bottom right corner of the piece, a common element in Tiepolo's works. This small, detailed drawing showcases the artist's skill in capturing the anatomy and posture of a dog. The drawing's simple composition and delicate lines are characteristic of Tiepolo's later style, which reflected the transition from the Rococo to Neoclassical period.
