Etching of two dogs in a landscape: the left dog sits up looking at a bird in flight, the right dog sits calmly facing forward among plants.

Twee zittende honden

An etching in two side-by-side panels shows dogs in a pastoral landscape. On the left, a black-and-white dog sits up on its haunches, gazing at a bird flying above; on the right, a seated dog faces the viewer among shrubs, with a distant village under cloudy skies.
