- The elegance of the hunting dog -

With his head slightly bent forward and his tail stretched out, the hound is on the prowl with his front leg slightly raised. He has followed the scent and already has his prey in sight. Anton Büschelberger captures the moment just before the drama of the hunt unfolds, showing the dog in a state of intense, instinctive tension. Every muscle seems to be visible under the fur, giving the animal a special elegance. The coloration, which matches the true-to-life effect of its appearance, was created using an early airbrush technique that produces delicate color gradients that match the shimmer of the porcelain.
