Liggende hond en een houten tafel of werkbank 1645 - 1646

Pieter Moninckx's "Liggende hond en een houten tafel of werkbank" is a simple, yet detailed, pencil drawing of a dog lying on the floor in front of a table. The table is attached to a wall. Created in 1645-1646, this drawing provides a glimpse into the artist's keen eye for detail. Moninckx, born in 1606 and passing in 1686, is known for his meticulous portrayal of everyday objects and scenes, and this drawing exemplifies his mastery of the medium. The subject matter, focusing on the dog's relaxed pose, is reminiscent of the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with the natural world, and Moninckx's artistic style contributes to this enduring interest.
