"An Uninvited Guest" (1889) by Adolf Eberle is a charming black and white illustration of a dog peeking over a stool at a family enjoying a meal. The dog's curious gaze and cocked head suggest a mischievous nature, while the family's unawareness creates a humorous moment. Eberle's simple lines and detailed rendering capture the everyday life of a rural family, reflecting the artistic style of realism popular in the late 19th century.
