A Boxer c. 1795

"A Boxer" is a graphite drawing by Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein, created around 1795. The drawing, measuring 21.9 x 18.1 cm, depicts a close-up view of a dog's head, likely a boxer breed, with a focus on its expressive eyes and slightly open mouth. Tischbein, known for his portraits and historical paintings, shows his mastery of capturing animal anatomy and emotion through delicate lines and shading. This intimate drawing offers a glimpse into Tischbein's artistic exploration of natural forms and the beauty of the animal world.
