Dog 

"Dog" is a realistic study of a dog, rendered in detail by the German artist Philipp Rumpf (1821-1896). The dog is depicted standing with its head tilted up and its tail slightly curled. The drawing's precise and lifelike representation of the animal's anatomy and fur highlights Rumpf's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects. The work, currently housed in the Städel Museum, is a fine example of Rumpf's animal studies, which often focused on the inherent beauty and dignity of creatures. This work demonstrates his meticulous approach to capturing details and his mastery of drawing techniques, which are characteristic of his oeuvre.
