Description: | In this work a girl smiles out at the viewer while carrying a puppy on her shoulder. The girl is dressed simply, with a cap on her head, and she has a rosy complexion. The intimacy between the child and the dog is further conveyed through the composition where the artist has placed the figure in the immediate foreground, cropping her shoulders and arms. This painting reflects the growing interest in depicting idealised images of both peasants and children in the late nineteenth century. | Subjects: | figure; animal (dog) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Garrido, Leandro Ramón (painter, probably Spanish, 1868-1909) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8905... | Go to resource |
