Object Description
Antique oil painting of an aristocratic girl with her dog. This painting has a wonderful precision to the detail while at the same time both the flow of movement and the grace and nobility of the girl and her dog are demonstrated admirably. Paintings of this size and quality were expensive to commission at this early period, not to mention that it would need a large house to accomodate the finished article. From this it can be deduced that this is a painting of a child of an important land owning family by a renowned artist of the period. All in all this is a delightful image which captures a moment in time as well as the carefree innocence of youth which is as relevant today as it was two hundred years ago.
