Lovely 19th Century Academic Charcoal Drawing of a Dog lynn ma With pretty amazing attention detail

With pretty amazing attention detail throughout

of course best to have the heart

and looking as if floating-- what really makes it for me are the two fingerprints (caught on the vitrine glass

enhanced by the fact that his chair appears almost as if levitating

Lovely 19th Century Academic Charcoal Drawing of a Dog lynn ma With pretty amazing attention detailQuite a beautiful small drawing, charcoal I believe, clearly with its maker having been quite precise about the proportions of this dog's head! I like how two horizontal toning lines running from the left eye evoke a sense of this creature seeing both straight ahead and to the side at once, too! One heavy paper, initialed on reverse at upper right. 5" x 3 1 2" and in good antique condition.
