DescriptionA young boy lies with his head resting on his left arm, which is on the back of a large black and white dog, probably a Newfoundland or Saint Bernard. He appears to be asleep. He wears a short-sleeved dress or over a long-sleeved shirt and trousers or pantalets. He has patterned stockings and shoes with a side button closure on his feet. He holds a hoop in his right hand. A stick lies on the ground nearby. A wooden bridge crosses a stream lined with trees in the right background. A grassy field, a fence, trees, and a house with a round tower with a conical roof are in the left background. Leafy plants are in the foreground.
