Hondenkop c. 1870 - 1909

"Hondenkop" (Dog's Head), created by Florimond Buyck sometime between 1870 and 1909, is a detailed etching of a dog's head. The artist captures the animal's expressive features in great detail, using a range of tonal values to depict the dog's fur and the light catching its face. The print, measuring just 238mm by 216mm, is a testament to Buyck's skill in conveying the essence of a subject through a simple yet powerful composition. The etching likely captures a beloved pet of the artist or perhaps a commonly observed breed of the time.
