About the piece
Painted in 1880, this early work by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec captures a pointer-type dog named 'La Gousse' with remarkable vitality. Before his famous immersion into Parisian nightlife, Lautrec excelled at animal studies, and this piece showcases his ability to combine traditional sporting subjects with a modern, textured approach to light and form. The contrast between the dog's bright coat and the moody, grounding landscape creates a timeless piece of sporting art.
