Kop van een liggende hond 1821 - 1886

This charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Guillaume Anne van der Brugghen, created between 1821 and 1886, depicts the head of a reclining dog. The loose and gestural lines, reminiscent of a quick sketch, convey the animal's form with a sense of immediacy. The use of charcoal on a pale background allows for a range of tonal values, highlighting the dog's features and creating a sense of depth. This piece is a testament to van der Brugghen's skill in capturing the essence of his subject through simplified, yet expressive lines.
