Hund ved en fontæne 1619 - 1684

"Hund ved en fontæne" (Dog by a Fountain), an etching by Jan van den Hecke I, depicts a detailed scene of a dog drinking from a fountain. The dog, rendered with meticulous detail, is the focal point, while other animals in the background add context to the scene. The artist, born in 1619 and active throughout the 17th century, captured the animal's form and the surrounding landscape with a meticulous and realistic style, demonstrating his mastery of the etching technique. This artwork, held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers viewers a glimpse into the artist's skill and the life of animals in the 17th century.
