Pudelhunden 1845

"Pudelhunden," a pen and ink drawing by Adolph Kittendorff, depicts a large dog standing on a wooden platform. The dog is facing away from the viewer and is looking off into the distance. The drawing is rendered with great detail and precision, capturing the animal's coat, musculature, and posture with lifelike accuracy. The work, which is part of the collection of SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers a glimpse into the Danish artist's keen observation of the natural world. The small dimensions of the drawing suggest that it was likely created as a study, a testament to Kittendorff’s meticulous approach to capturing the world around him.
