About the piece

Painted in 1880, this early work by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec showcases a masterful use of texture and light to depict a hound dog. The close-cropped composition focuses on the dog's large, expressive eyes and characteristic long ears, rendered with confident, painterly brushstrokes that give the piece an immediate, tactile presence.
