Seated Dog

anoniem, c. 1650 - c. 1700

The Haarlem artist Cornelis Visscher drew his animals like his portraits of people: lively and unidealized. The artist here relayed characteristic features of this little papillon, such as the quivering pose and bulging eyes. This drawing is a copy of a sheet in the Frits Lugt Collection in Paris. Both of these worked-up drawings may have been intended for sale as independent works of art.
