AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Artist: Anonymous / 19th-Century School
Title: Pinscher Playing with a Butterfly
Period: 19th Century
Medium and Support: Oil on canvas
Dimensions:
Canvas: 34.5 × 41 cm
With frame: 44 × 50.5
Description: A charming 19th-century oil painting depicting a lively genre scene featuring a Pinscher (or early terrier-pinscher type) dog. The animal is captured in a playful bow, stretching forward with its front paws on the ground as it curiously interacts with a large butterfly resting on the grass.
The artwork stands out for its remarkable expressiveness and attention to the dog's anatomical details—from its black-and-tan coat with a distinct white chest mark to the fine golden collar—beautifully contrasting with the dark, moody woodland background. An old ink inventory number ("N° 20") is visible on the upper wooden stretcher bar, pointing to its provenance from a private collection.
Condition Report: The painting is in good overall condition, showing a natural and appealing craquelure consistent with its age. It is mounted on its original key-wedge wooden stretcher and comes complete with a matching period carved and moulded wooden frame, ready to be displayed.
