Kop van een bloedhond 1884

"Kop van een bloedhond" (Head of a Bloodhound) is an 1884 etching by Dutch artist Louis van Engelen (1856-1940). This detailed and expressive artwork captures the essence of a bloodhound, its soulful eyes and long, floppy ears. The print was awarded a prize of honor at the Antwerp exhibition in 1884, a testament to van Engelen’s skill in depicting animal subjects. The etching is currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
