Zittende hond bij een schuur 1810 - 1884

Johannes Mock's "Zittende hond bij een schuur" (1810-1884), a black and white etching, depicts a seated dog in front of a barn. Mock, known for his animal drawings, captured the dog’s realistic fur texture with fine lines. The dog sits calmly in the foreground with a relaxed posture and a thoughtful expression. The composition’s simple layout, a common characteristic of Mock’s work, draws the viewer's eye to the dog. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, measures 102 mm in height and 148 mm in width. The etching demonstrates Mock’s skill in capturing the essence of animal subjects through detailed and delicate lines.
