Description from the seller
19th-Century Spanish School. Title: "Dwarf with a Dog"
Copy after Diego Velázquez.
Medium: Oil on canvas.
Dimensions: 142 x 107.5 cm. With frame.
Provenance: Private collection, Germany.
The painting is titled "Dwarf with a Dog" (also known as Portrait of a Jester with a Dog or Don Antonio "the English") and its authorship is commonly attributed to Diego Velázquez or to his circle/workshop.
Details of the work
Artist: Diego Velázquez (or circle).
Title: Dwarf with a Dog.
Style: Spanish Baroque.
Technique: Oil on canvas.
Year: circa 1640-1650.
Location: Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid, Spain.
Context
The exact identity of the man portrayed has been the subject of debate; previously it was believed to be Don Antonio the Englishman, but this identification is now considered untenable as the jester died long before the estimated dating of the painting. The dog is a symbol of loyalty in art and also appears in other works of the period.
