About the piece
Attributed to Jean Ranc around 1735, this charming oil painting captures the regal poise of a sighthound seated upon an ornate red velvet cushion. The work is characterized by its dramatic chiaroscuro and masterful rendering of soft textures and metallic fringe, typical of the sophisticated French court style of the early 18th century.
