De hondenkar 1855

"De hondenkar" (The Dog Cart) is a lithograph by Charles Rochussen from 1855. The artwork depicts three dogs, possibly a hunting breed, harnessed to a cart, resting in front of a simple building. The scene is likely set in a rural area, suggesting the dogs are used for work, possibly transporting goods. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism, highlighting the texture of the dogs' fur and the wood of the cart. Rochussen's detailed depiction of everyday life captures the connection between humans and animals in 19th-century Dutch society, making this print a fascinating glimpse into the past.
