About the Item

French oil painting on panel “Dog lying in front of fireplace” 19th century Thematically, the work aligns with 19th-century realism, which focuses on everyday, non-heroic subjects. The dog functions as a symbol of loyalty, calm, and domestic stability. Rather than depicting drama, the painting captures a quiet, timeless moment in which movement seems suspended—reflecting the late 19th-century interest in atmosphere, intimacy, and close observation.

English Late 19th Century Vertical Oil Painting of a Dog Sitting in an Armchair
Located in Atlanta, GA
An English late 19th century oil painting of a dog sitting in an armchair with red cushion in giltwood frame. This exquisite animal painting features a short hair caramel colored dog, majestically sitting in a chair, in a manner reminiscent of Velasquez' depiction of Pope Innocent X. A red cushion, whose deep tones contrast beautifully with the dog's coat, assures us that the dog is very comfortable!

This portrait is a perfect example of this trend. Set inside a lovely giltwood frame, this vertical format English dog portrait...
