The Dog

About this work

The painting shows a dog with its head down, as if it's sniffing something. The dog is drawn in dark brown and black, with some lighter shading on its body. The background is a light tan color. The dog's posture and the way it's drawn make it look like it's moving, even though it's just a still image. The artist used a technique called lithography to create the image, which involves drawing on a stone plate with a special kind of ink.
