Kind met honden c. 1865 - 1918

"Kind met honden" ("Child with Dogs") is a pencil drawing created by Dutch artist Otto Eerelman sometime between 1865 and 1918. The artwork depicts a child sitting outside a building with a group of small dogs. The child, who is sitting on the ground, is surrounded by the dogs and appears to be interacting with them. The drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Eerelman's style, which often captured everyday scenes with a sense of realism and gentle humor. The work is a small-scale study, measuring only 196 mm by 155 mm, and is a testament to Eerelman's skill as a draftsman.
