Stående hund 1834

"Stående hund" (Standing Dog), an 1834 pencil drawing by Johan Thomas Lundbye, captures a moment of quiet observation. The artist's keen eye for detail is evident in the rendering of the dog's anatomy, from the curve of its back to the texture of its fur. The composition is simple yet effective, emphasizing the dog's stance and the subtle play of light and shadow across its form. This work, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Lundbye's talent for capturing the essence of animal life through precise and expressive lines.
