About the artist:
Vincent De Vos (1829-1875), also known as Joost-Vincent de Vos, was a Belgian painter who studied at the Academy of Kortrijk, where Edward Woutermaertens introduced him to the art of realistic animal painting. De Vos gained recognition for his vibrant and humorous depictions of dogs, occasionally featuring costumed monkeys riding on their backs. In his Kortrijk studio, he kept a variety of animals, including dogs, wolves, foxes, monkeys, and even a camel, which he used as models for his work. His paintings, typically small in size, frequently included elements such as shoes, boxes, and musical instruments. De Vos was particularly skilled in portraying wandering street dogs and he became one of the most prominent 19th-century Belgian painters specializing in dogs and monkeys, often attributing human characteristics to them. He usually signed his works simply as "De Vos," placing his signature in a discreet location on the painting.
The frame has some signs of its age but in overall good condition.
