Jongen spelend met een hond 1735 - 1809

"Jongen spelend met een hond" is a watercolor drawing by Paul Sandby, a prominent figure in the development of English watercolor painting. Created between 1735 and 1809, the artwork depicts a young boy playfully interacting with a dog. Sandby's signature use of washes and delicate lines captures the casual charm of the scene. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this small-scale piece (160 mm x 125 mm) showcases Sandby's talent for capturing everyday moments with sensitivity and precision, a characteristic that solidified his reputation as a master of watercolor.
