LIttle Dog 1888

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's "Little Dog" from 1888 is a charming and intimate portrayal of a black dog resting on a bed. The dog's silhouette is rendered in a thick, bold stroke against a background of vibrant orange and pale white. The loose brushwork and seemingly spontaneous strokes create a sense of energy and movement, characteristic of Lautrec's style. This small-scale work, typical of the artist's fascination with everyday subjects, showcases Lautrec's keen observation and ability to capture the essence of a fleeting moment.
