Dalmatische hond 1740 - 1774

"Dalmatische hond" is a drawing by Dutch artist Pieter Anthony Wakkerdak, completed between 1740 and 1774. The artwork depicts a Dalmatian standing in profile with its head tilted upwards. The artist’s detailed use of light and shadow provides depth and dimension to the dog's form. The drawing is a testament to Wakkerdak's skill in capturing the beauty and grace of animals. The small size of the artwork, measuring only 89 mm by 100 mm, suggests its possible use as a study for a larger composition or a personal work.
