Landscape with Greyhound and Rifle

Jan Fyt

National Gallery of Art

This drawing shows a dog in a landscape. The dog is standing on rocky terrain with a backdrop of rugged rocks and trees. There are detailed renderings of foliage and branches in the foreground. The artist used cross-hatching for shading and detail, creating depth and naturalism. The sky above is lightly etched, suggesting openness. The dog appears attentive. This drawing is in the style of Stefano della Bella.
