Drie honden 1847 - 1865

"Drie honden" (Three Dogs) is a lithograph created by the Dutch artist Anthonie van Volkom in the mid-19th century. The print depicts three dogs, two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and a Greyhound, standing in a dimly lit room. The composition features an elegant, elongated Greyhound standing in the center, reaching out to a plate with a small dish, while the two smaller dogs watch with anticipation. The intricate details of the dogs’ fur and the subtle chiaroscuro of the lithograph demonstrate van Volkom’s skill in animal portraiture, making this artwork a noteworthy example of 19th-century Dutch realism.
