DescriptionPortrait of a dog. The dog has brown eyes and a brown face with a white blaze on his muzzle running up between his eyes and ending a bit above them. His chest and front legs are white, as are his stomach and the tip of his bushy tail. The rest of his fur is brown. The dog is lying on the ground, with his front paws almost in a pool of water. In the background is a winding river running between hills. Several trees are at the right. The background has a dull sunset glow, there are some clouds in the sky.
The painting is framed in a brown frame.
