About the piece

Painted in 1863 by Auguste Corkole, this endearing animal portrait features two fluffy white dogs posed elegantly on a rich red velvet armchair. The striking contrast between the luminous white fur and the deep crimson upholstery creates a sophisticated yet warm composition, exemplifying the refined pet portraiture popular in mid-19th-century European collections.
