{"product_id":"antique-black-dog-oil-painting-61221","title":"Antique Black Dog Oil Painting | Victorian Pet Portrait in Original Frame","description":"\u003cp\u003eA wonderfully intimate turn of the century (Circa 1900) French animal portrait, depicting a small black dog seated attentively against a softly painted outdoor backdrop. Stylistically, the dog breed sits somewhere between a Schipperke, small Griffon, or a black Pomeranian. All breeds very popular in northern France and the French aristocracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handling of the fur is particularly appealing, with loose yet deliberate brushwork building depth through subtle variations of black, brown, and soft grey highlights. The restrained background keeps the focus entirely on the animal, allowing its presence to quietly command the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood antique condition consistent with age. Visible craquelure and surface wear. Presents beautifully with a rich, atmospheric surface. Has recently been for a visit to the restorer for a professional cleaning and new varnish applied. The painting remains in its original period frame, which complements the understated warmth of the work and enhances its authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrench School\u003cbr\u003eOil on canvas\u003cbr\u003e19th century\u003cbr\u003eOriginal frame\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing (Incl Frame)\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 22.05 inch (56cm)\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 13.78 inch (35cm)\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 1.18 inch (3cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing Painting\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 20.08 inch (51cm)\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 12.20 inch (31cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFREE International Shipping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInsurance:\u003cbr\u003eAll products are shipped in good boxes and very well packaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll products are shipped fully insured for international shipping.
