Deeze Hond byt niemand 1761 - 1804

"Deeze Hond byt niemand" is an 18th-century Dutch print depicting a dog sitting on a checkered floor. Created by Erven de Weduwe Jacobus van Egmont, the print is a detailed and realistic depiction of a dog, likely a hunting breed. The artwork's inscription, "Deeze Hond byt niemand," which translates to "This dog does not bite," suggests a playful or satirical tone, perhaps commenting on the common perception of dogs as guard animals. This print, now held by the Rijksmuseum, is a fascinating example of early Dutch printmaking.
