Angeload 1979

"Angeload" is a 1979 painting by American artist Jamie Wyeth, known for his realistic and often whimsical style. The painting depicts a small dog perched on a wicker chair, its intense gaze directed at the viewer, creating an unsettling mood. The dog's fur is meticulously rendered, highlighting Wyeth's mastery of detail, while the yellow tones in the background and the textured surface of the chair add a sense of warmth and intimacy. This work is considered a prime example of Wyeth's later style, where he used everyday objects and animals to explore themes of perception and the passage of time.
