Head of a Dog 1870

Pierre-Auguste Renoir's "Head of a Dog" from 1870 is a charming oil painting depicting a close-up portrait of a small dog with big, soulful eyes. The work is characterized by loose brushstrokes and a warm, golden color palette, typical of Renoir's style. The dog's fur is rendered with Impressionistic flair, capturing a sense of movement and life. The collar with a bell adds a playful touch to the composition, suggesting a companion animal loved by its owner.
