Studies van een hond 1821 - 1890

Guillaume Anne van der Brugghen's "Studies van een hond" (1821-1890) is a charcoal drawing of a dog standing and five other sketches of dog heads. Van der Brugghen was a 19th-century Dutch artist known for his animal studies, particularly dogs. This drawing is a study of the animal form and structure and exemplifies his detailed approach and skillful use of charcoal. The expressive lines and shading create a sense of movement and life in the animal's forms. The drawing offers a glimpse into the artist's working process and their observations of canine features.
