United States
Circa 1850
Oil on canvas, framed
17½ × 21½ in. (44.5 × 54.6 cm) including frame
Provenance: Tom Delach, Boston, Massachusetts
This anonymous American painting depicts a puppy with a blue ribbon, rendered in the tightly finished manner characteristic of mid-nineteenth-century American animal portraiture, a genre that served the domestic and sentimental market alongside portrait and landscape painting. The subject is centrally placed against a neutral ground with attention to the animal's coat texture, expression, and the decorative detail of the ribbon, consistent with the conventions of American pet portraiture of the period. Tom Delach provenance from Boston connects the piece to New England collecting of American painting.
