About the piece
Created in 1865 by the celebrated animalier Henriëtte Ronner-Knip, this oil on canvas depicts a faithful working dog taking a well-earned 'Short Rest.' The composition is rich with textural contrast, pitting the soft fur of the canine against the coarse weave of the hay-filled cart and the gleaming reflective surfaces of the brass and pewter jugs.
