En moppe 1746 - 1828

"En moppe" (1746-1828), a graphite drawing by Danish artist C.A. Lorentzen, depicts a sleeping bulldog, rendered in meticulous detail. The artist's keen observation of the animal's anatomy and soft textures is evident in the subtle shading. The bulldog's relaxed posture and closed eyes evoke a sense of tranquility, making the piece a charming example of animal portraiture within the realm of Danish art. The drawing is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
