About the piece
Painted in 1769 by French master Jean-Baptiste Huet, this dramatic oil on canvas depicts a powerful mastiff attacking a family of geese. The work showcases Huet's exceptional ability to capture animal anatomy and movement, with the bright white plumage of the geese creating a striking contrast against the moody, shadowed background. A masterful example of Enlightenment-era animalier painting, it brings a sense of high drama and classical tradition to any space.
