EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite sketch, titled "Sketch of Horse and Dog" by Dirk Valkenburg, dates back to the 18th century and showcases the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of two beloved animals - a horse and a dog. The scene is set in the Low Countries, a region that was a significant contributor to the Dutch Golden Age of art. The sketch is executed in red chalk on tan laid paper, which has been carefully laid down on ivory laid paper. The use of red chalk adds depth and texture to the animals' coats, bringing out the intricacies of their fur and the natural brown and red hues. The horse is depicted in a seated position, its powerful body and muscular form exuding strength and grace. Its head is turned towards the dog, which is sitting obediently by its side. The dog's alert and curious expression adds a sense of playfulness to the scene. The sketch is a testament to Valkenburg's mastery of the medium of red chalk. The artist's ability to capture the subtle details of the animals' forms, textures, and expressions is truly remarkable. The use of chalk and paper also adds to the sketch's authenticity, as it allows for a more natural and organic rendering of the animals compared to other mediums. This beautiful sketch is a treasure of heritage art and a must-see for anyone interested in the animal art of the 18th century. It is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
