The Dog Killer 1870

"The Dog Killer" is a small oil painting on canvas by American artist William P. Chappel, who lived from 1801 to 1878. The painting, created in 1870, captures a street scene of a small town, with buildings lined up on both sides. The image shows a horse-drawn cart in the foreground, and several figures, including a man walking with a dog, possibly alluding to the painting's title. The work is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
