About the Item

In this 1987 photogravure, Bruce Weber captures Ted and a golden retriever, Rowdy, just after a swim in an Adirondack lake. Ted stands barefoot on a wooden dock, water still glistening on his skin, smiling into the distance with the ease of someone who knows he’s exactly where he’s meant to be. In his arms, Rowdy—drenched and happy—gazes directly at the camera, his wide face expressionless but full of quiet joy. The lake behind them lies still, the air thick with the warmth of late afternoon. We've custom framed the photograph with a deep chip-carved profile and a thin gold filet—elevating a fleeting moment into something enduring. Best known for his portraits of American rituals of summer, Weber has spent his career documenting life at the edges of lakes, beaches, and back porches—where strength and vulnerability often meet. His images feel lived-in and timeless, evoking memory rather than spectacle. This one, tactile and sunlit, is no exception: an ode to companionship, and the magic of ordinary moments.
