Statuette of a Dog c. 1937

This watercolor by Frank Fumagalli, created around 1937, depicts a detailed statuette of a dog carrying a bottle in a small basket. The figurine is carved with meticulous detail, with the dog's fur rendered in a textured and realistic manner. The brown and gold tones of the artwork create a sense of warmth and richness, while the dog's playful stance suggests a lighthearted and whimsical subject. The statuette's delicate size, measuring 21.6 x 28.2 cm (8 1/2 x 11 1/8 in.), highlights the artist's careful craftsmanship and attention to detail. The artwork is a testament to Fumagalli's talent in capturing the beauty and essence of a cherished animal.
