Slapende hond 1888 - 1934

"Slapende hond" (Sleeping Dog), a print by Dutch artist Willem Adrianus Grondhout, depicts a dog curled up in a peaceful slumber. The simple yet expressive lines of the etching highlight the animal's soft fur and relaxed form, creating a sense of tranquility. Grondhout's keen observation of nature is evident in the realistic details of the dog's anatomy. This intimate portrayal of a dog, created between 1888 and 1934, is a testament to the artist's talent for capturing the beauty of everyday life. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
