Dobby

Pencil drawing, 46 x 57 cm, private collection.

A stray dog adopted by us, a 'Friese Stabij'. We found her on the street -in Italy they call it an 'abandonato'- maybe left behind because she is very anxious and therefore not suitable for hunting, for which this breed of dog is widely used. She's incredibly sweet, and her big, slightly sad eyes reminded us of "Dobby the House Elf" from J.K. Rawling's books.
