About the piece
Painted in 1754 by the renowned French animalier Jean-Baptiste Oudry, this oil painting captures a quiet moment of maternal care. A white-and-brown dog gazes alertly while nursing two spotted puppies on a bed of golden straw, set against a dark, atmospheric barn background that emphasizes the warmth of the central subjects.
