En hundehvalp 1847 - 1875

"En hundehvalp" (A Puppy) is a small-scale print by Danish artist F. Hendriksen, created sometime between 1847 and 1875. The artwork depicts a black dog standing next to a fireplace, surrounded by scattered pieces of paper, and is likely a satirical commentary on pet behavior. The artist's signature, "F. Hendriksen," can be seen in the bottom right corner of the artwork. The print is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark, and measures a mere 69 mm x 79 mm. The small size and lighthearted subject matter make the print a charming example of the genre of animal illustration.
