[Photo Collage: Dog Jumping at Man] 1870 - 1880

This photo collage, titled "[Photo Collage: Dog Jumping at Man]," was created by Uruguayan artist Juan Pedro Chabalgoity between 1870 and 1880. The piece depicts a man in a top hat and striped trousers being attacked by a dog in front of a small, wooden house. Chabalgoity, known for his detailed work, used a combination of cut-outs and photography to create this playful and slightly humorous scene. The work is a testament to Chabalgoity's mastery of mixed media techniques, popularized during the 19th century, and provides a glimpse into Uruguayan life and humor during this period. This artwork is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York.
