About the piece
Painted in 1759 by George van der Mijn, this oil portrait depicts Antoinette Métayer in a moment of quiet companionship with her small spaniel. The artist masterfully captures the contrasting textures of the woman's shimmering blue silk dress, delicate lace cap, and the soft fur of the dog, reflecting the refined elegance and intimate domesticity of mid-18th-century European life.
