Description: | Signed: yes Description: Ernest Dupont (1825-1888) was a portraitist who had been a pupil of Paul Delaroche. Between 1845 and 1870 he sent portraits and pictures with figures to the Salon. This portrait of a thoughtful little girl wearing a tartan dress may have been bought because of the attractiveness of the subject, as well as the fact that the artist was a contemporary of John and Joséphine Bowes. The dog appears to be a small Yorkshire terrier, a toy dog considered alert and intelligent. | Subjects: | portrait (unidentified girl); animal (dog) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Dupont, Ernest (French artist, 1825-1888) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8986... | Go to resource |
