Zittende hond, mogelijk een Cairn Terrier 1863

Ludovic Napoléon Lepic's "Zittende hond, mogelijk een Cairn Terrier" (1863) is a finely detailed etching depicting a seated dog, possibly a Cairn Terrier, against a dark background. Lepic was a renowned French artist known for his animal portraits, often capturing the personality and distinct features of his subjects. This particular work showcases the artist's mastery of etching, with a delicate rendering of the dog's fur and the subtle play of light and shadow. The viewer is drawn to the dog's pensive gaze and its almost human-like posture, creating a sense of intimacy and connection.
