About the piece
Painted in 1866, this work by Gustave Courbet depicts two greyhounds belonging to the Comte de Choiseul. The artist masterfully captures the textures of the dogs' coats—one a mottled white and the other a deep, dark brindle—against an atmospheric coastal horizon. It stands as a prime example of Courbet’s ability to imbue animal subjects with dignity and physical presence.
