https://www.decorativecollective.com/dealers/the-school-for-scandalAn atmospheric oil on canvas (later laid on board) depiction of what we believe to be a Coton De Tulear canine. Housed in a period rosewood veneered frame with gilt slip.
The dog posing on a blue velvet cushion, likely French in origins and mid 19th century in age.
The Tulear was popular during the French colonial period in Madagascar (roughly from the late 1800s to 1960), the Coton de Tulear became a status symbol for the French elite, who favoured the breed for its charming appearance and gentle nature
Some areas of loss, age related wear and abrasions to both painting and frame, giving it a pleasant overall feel.
