Löwe (Lion) from Deutsche Graphiker der Gegenwart (German Printmakers of Our Time)

René Beeh

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a dog. The drawing features a dog rendered in bold, rough strokes of black on a plain background. The dog's form is conveyed through minimal, energetic lines that suggest structure and movement. The use of shadow and shape is minimal yet effective, emphasizing the dog's facial features and limbs, giving it a sense of depth and presence despite the simplicity of the execution.
