Een liggende hond, van opzij gezien 1589 - 1657

Frans Snijders, a renowned Flemish Baroque artist, created this detailed study of a greyhound. Dating back to 1589-1657, the drawing showcases Snijders' mastery of anatomical precision. The artist's use of charcoal on paper captures the dog's musculature and posture with remarkable accuracy, creating a realistic and lifelike portrayal. "Een liggende hond, van opzij gezien" is a prime example of Snijders' skill in capturing the beauty and movement of animals, demonstrating his artistic prowess in both painting and drawing. This artwork, currently held in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a testament to the artist's dedication to observational detail and animal studies.
