Seated Dog
Jacques Jordaens (1593-1678), black and red chalk, with grey and brown wash, heightened with white, 1638
Dogs are everywhere, sniffing or barking, in paintings by the Flemish artist Jacob Jordaens. In this case he even drew a pregnant one. Her heavy belly hangs on the ground, and yet she remains upright leaning on her forelegs. This dog is probably a short-haired Vizsla, recognizable by the smooth coat and floppy ears. This breed of hunting dog was known for its excellent nose and tenacity in pointing and retrieving.
