A motley crew 

"A motley crew" is a charming watercolor by Carl Reichert, a German artist known for his animal portraits. The artwork features four dogs - a dachshund, a white terrier, a Yorkshire terrier, and a pug - all depicted in a close-up style, with their individual personalities captured with detail. The dogs' collars and a blue ribbon add a touch of color to the composition, while the soft, delicate brushstrokes create a realistic and inviting atmosphere. Reichert's works often explore themes of animal companionship and beauty, and this artwork is no exception, offering a delightful glimpse into the lives of these furry friends.
