Le Matin, dit aussi Femme au chien (1880)

Ferdinand Heilbuth (German, 1826–1889)

A woman in a flowing dress stands by a window, morning light spilling across the floor. Her small dog leans against her skirt, tail curled. The air feels still, heavy with the quiet of early hours—a private moment before the day begins.
Portrait of a Lady with a Lap Dog (ca 1665)

Rembrandt van Rijn (Dutch, 1606–1669)

A woman in rich fabrics cradles a small dog, its fur ruffled under her fingers. Shadows pool in the folds of her sleeve, light catching the gold thread along her collar. The dog’s dark eyes meet yours, alive and watchful, while her gaze rests somewhere just beyond the frame.
Sharing confidences

Louis Icart (French, 1880–1950)

A Cavatina (1888)

Briton Riviere (English, 1840–1920)

A hound lies curled beside a violin, ears pricked as if catching the last fading note. The instrument rests abandoned—someone has just left the room. The dog’s gaze lingers where the music hung in the air, waiting for it to return.
Le chien ‘Donki’ (1876)

Édouard Manet (French, 1832–1883)

A small black dog pauses mid-step, ears perked. The loose brushstrokes suggest movement—perhaps it just heard its name called. No background distracts from the alert posture, the dark fur catching light in quick dabs. A pet caught between stillness and action.
Autumn Landscape With Shepherd, Dog And Sheep

Jasper Francis Cropsey (American, 1823–1900)

Golden leaves rustle as the shepherd pauses, his dog alert beside him. Sheep graze lazily in the crisp autumn light, their wool blending with the fiery hues of the hills. A quiet moment stretches between man and nature, undisturbed but for the whisper of wind through the trees.
