EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century oil painting by David Klocker Ehrenstrahl captures the essence of two small lapdogs in a moment of tranquility. The dogs, seated on a richly textured blue cushion adorned with intricate gold and silver brocade, gaze up at the viewer with curious and gentle expressions. The dogs, dressed in red collars and matching velvet coats, are a testament to the high status and affluence of their owner. The skillful use of oil painting techniques by Ehrenstrahl brings the velvet fabric and the glossy sheen of the dogs' coats to life, adding depth and texture to the painting. The dogs' posture, with their paws delicately placed, exudes an air of elegance and refinement. This artwork, currently housed in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, is a beautiful example of the artistic heritage of the 17th century and a reminder of the special bond between humans and their pets. The use of vibrant colors, such as the deep blue of the cushion and the rich red of the dogs' collars, adds visual interest and enhances the overall impact of the painting. The pair of dogs, with their regal bearing and captivating gaze, continue to captivate viewers and evoke a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era.
