Head of a Leonberger
The Groningen artist Otto Eerelman found his greatest success with his portraits of dogs. In his studio on the Elandstraat in The Hague, he taught his models to ‘sit’, before painting them. This Leonberger doubtless also ‘sat’ to the painter. This breed’s characteristic protruding snout and gentle faithful nature are here rendered with great fidelity.
