Frans Snijders' "Een zittende hond, van opzij gezien" is a graphite drawing of a seated dog. The dog is depicted in profile, with its head tilted slightly to the side. The drawing is notable for its realistic depiction of the dog's anatomy and its delicate shading. Snijders, a Flemish painter and draughtsman, is known for his detailed animal studies. This drawing, dated 1589-1657, is an example of his mastery in capturing the beauty and grace of animals. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
