    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.
