Picture of a Dog 

Charles Sprague Pearce's "Picture of a Dog" depicts a small, white dog resting on a green cushion. The dog's soft fur is rendered with delicate brushstrokes, capturing the animal's gentle nature. The painting's muted tones and simple composition create a sense of quiet intimacy, reflecting the artist's fascination with capturing the everyday beauty of domestic life. The inscription "TOM" suggests that the dog was a beloved pet, making the work a personal and sentimental portrait.
