Diverse honden bij een muur 1886 - 1897

"Diverse honden bij een muur" is a black and white engraving by Dutch artist Christiaan Lodewijk van Kesteren. This detailed piece, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a group of dogs in a domestic setting. The central dog, a white terrier, stands on a broken plate, while other dogs, including a large black retriever, surround him. The scene, which is likely a humorous depiction of dog behavior, is a testament to van Kesteren's skill in capturing animal anatomy and personality. This work dates back to the late 19th century and exemplifies the artist's prolific career.
