Dog with pups - 1969.77_print

This watercolor was painted in India in 1760 and based on the museum's description, may highlight the presence of dogs kept in the palace of the Mughal empire by Akbar. The label also mentions that newborn dogs have yet to open their eyes, which I find a fascinating detail that contributes to the seemingly dependent and submissive posture of the pups. The image itself is 22 x 16.5 cm (8 11/16 x 6 1/2 in.) and painted on paper. This painting is in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art (Gifted by Mr. and Mrs. William E. Ward in memory of her father, Charles Svec 1969.77) and is not available for view. This image is in the public domain.
