"Seated Dog" is a black chalk drawing by Cornelis Visscher, a Dutch artist known for his animal studies and portraits. Created around 1650-1700, the drawing depicts a small dog with fluffy fur, sitting on a rock and looking up. The dog's expressive eyes and detailed fur are captured with remarkable precision, showcasing Visscher's meticulous technique. The drawing is now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, highlighting the artist's significant contribution to the Dutch Golden Age of art.
Comments
The Haarlem artist Cornelis Visscher drew his animals like his portraits of people: lively and unidealized. The artist here relayed characteristic features of this little papillon, such as the quivering pose and bulging eyes. This drawing is a copy of a sheet in the Frits Lugt Collection in Paris. Both of these worked-up drawings may have been intended for sale as independent works of art.
