Head of a Dog from New Holland 1860

"Head of a Dog from New Holland" is a 1860 etching by Charles Meryon. The artwork, which is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, depicts a dog in profile, with its head turned to the left. The delicate lines of the etching create a sense of movement and life, capturing the animal's expression and fur texture with exquisite detail. This work is a fine example of Meryon's mastery of etching, a technique he used to create a range of compelling depictions of Paris and its people.
