En hund 1804 - 1846

"En Hund" (A Dog) is an etching by Danish artist Christian Holm, created between 1804 and 1846. The print, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a dog wading through shallow water, its head turned in profile. The detailed rendering of the dog's fur and the surrounding reeds showcases Holm's skill in capturing natural detail. This etching, measuring 135 mm by 182 mm, exemplifies the artist's interest in animal studies, a popular genre in Danish art of the early 19th century.
