Dode hond 1773 - 1843

"Dode hond" (Dead Dog) is a pencil drawing by the French artist Georges Michel, created between 1773 and 1843. The small-scale artwork depicts a dead dog lying on its side, its body rendered with delicate lines and shading. The simplicity of the composition and the starkness of the subject matter evoke a sense of mortality and pathos, characteristic of Michel's oeuvre. The drawing's delicate lines and subtle shading create a sense of both realism and melancholy, highlighting Michel's keen observational skills and his ability to capture the fragility of life.
