Hond en een zittende vrouw 1710 - 1772

This 18th-century red chalk drawing by Petrus Johannes van Reysschoot depicts a seated woman and a hound. The artist, who was active in the Netherlands, uses expressive lines to capture the form and movement of the subjects. The woman's pose is relaxed and her face is turned slightly to the side, while the dog is depicted in profile, its head raised in a gesture of alertness. The work demonstrates van Reysschoot's skill in rendering form and anatomy, suggesting his interest in capturing lifelike subjects. This drawing is a testament to van Reysschoot's mastery of drawing, offering a glimpse into his artistic practice and artistic interests.
