Portrait Of A Japanese Dog
Portrait of a Japanese dog executed in 1892. The animal is depicted in bust form, with particular attention paid to the expression in its eyes, the modeling of its short muzzle, and the ruff of white fur—emblematic characteristics of this breed, prized at the end of the 19th century. This portrait follows in the tradition of Japanese dogs popularized by Édouard Manet, notably through his famous dog Tama, painted in the 1870s and 1880s. Manet greatly contributed to making this breed a modern, intimate, and bourgeois subject, reflecting the taste for Japonisme then in vogue. Note: minor damage
