"Liggende hond" (Lying Dog) is a 1777 drawing by Cornelis van Noorde (1731-1795). The drawing depicts a dog in a realistic style, with careful attention to detail in its fur and body. The artist uses hatching and cross-hatching techniques to create the effect of light and shadow. The drawing is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. This detailed and expressive depiction of a dog showcases van Noorde's talent as an animal artist.
