V. LENG (19th) after TERBURG (*1608), Boy with a dog, Lithography V Leng (19th century) after Gerhard Terburg (1608 - 1681 ): A boy flees his dog Boy with dog on his lap in a quiet interior scene, 19th century, Lithography Technique: Lithography on China paper, rolled-on on Paper Inscription: At the lower part inscribed in the printing plate: "Aus der königlich bayerischen Pinakothek zu München. Das Original Holz gemalt ist 1`1" hoch, u. 11" breit.". Date: 19th century Description: The graphic shows a boy - Moses Ter Borch - carefully delousing his dog, which is lying calmly on his lap. The scene takes place in a sparse interior, with subdued light falling from the left and softly modelling the figures. A wide-brimmed felt hat lies on a low table in the foreground; in the background is a table with an open notebook and pen. The composition is characterised by its intimate, calm atmosphere and the subtle depiction of childlike care. The lines and tonal gradation show the influence of 17th century Dutch genre painting, modelled on an original by Gerard ter Borch.
