一隻獵犬
1653
Paulus Potter, usually famous for painting cows that take up the entire canvas, shrinks his scale for this intimate 1653 portrait of a spaniel. The dog stands with noble alertness, his feathery coat rendered in meticulous detail, while a hunting party on horseback plays a tiny supporting role in the distance. It’s a delightful glimpse into the Dutch Golden Age, proving that even man's best friend was worthy of a master's brush.
