The Vallardi Album, a collection of drawings by the Italian Renaissance artist Antonio Pisano, commonly known as Pisanello, includes a notable piece titled "Greyhound and Head of a Greyhound." Pisanello, who was active during the early 15th century, is celebrated for his detailed and naturalistic approach to drawing, which is evident in this work. The album itself is a testament to Pisanello's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects with remarkable precision and sensitivity.

"Greyhound and Head of a Greyhound" showcases Pisanello's keen observation and mastery of animal anatomy. The drawing features a full-bodied greyhound alongside a detailed study of the dog's head.

The head of the greyhound, rendered with meticulous attention to detail, demonstrates the artist's proficiency in capturing the subtleties of expression and texture.

Pisanello's work is characterized by its delicate lines and careful shading, which bring a lifelike quality to his subjects. This particular drawing not only reflects his technical prowess but also his deep appreciation for the natural world. The inclusion of animals in his oeuvre is a recurring theme, and his studies often served as preparatory works for larger compositions, including frescoes and medals.
