Leashed Hounds

Constant Troyon

French, 1810 - 1865

As part of his training as a hunting dog, a young hound is leashed to an older one so that he may learn to follow a scent. Constant Troyon's animal pictures were influenced by the seventeenth-century Dutch paintings that he saw on a trip to Holland in 1847.
