Dun, a Gordon Setter Belonging to Comte Alphonse de Toulouse Lautrec 1881

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's "Dun, a Gordon Setter Belonging to Comte Alphonse de Toulouse Lautrec" is an oil painting created in 1881, depicting a Gordon Setter dog belonging to the artist's relative. The painting exhibits Lautrec's signature bold brushstrokes and characteristically loose style. The dog is rendered in a realistic yet expressive manner, capturing its distinct breed features. The background, though somewhat abstract, suggests an outdoor setting, likely a hunting ground. This painting, a rare example of Lautrec's work on a non-human subject, showcases his keen observation and ability to portray the essence of his subject with exceptional skill.
