This elegant copperplate engraving by Frederick de Wit features two views of a greyhound: one in a poised standing position, the other reclining with a graceful twist of the body. Both studies showcase the breed’s slender musculature and refined posture. The minimal background emphasizes anatomical clarity, making the print both a zoological reference and an aesthetic composition.

Frederick de Wit (1629–1706) was a prominent Dutch engraver, cartographer, and publisher during the Dutch Golden Age. While best known for his influential atlases and maps, de Wit also produced a range of natural history engravings. His work is recognized for its precision, balanced design, and contribution to scientific and artistic documentation in the 17th century.
