Without title, Oil on wood by Johannes Hüppi
There are other, similar pictures by Hüppi with the same model and dog. They have titles with the name Danae in it.
Well, Danae was a human women, who was impregnated by Jupiter appearing as a golden rain. When you google Hüppi pictures, there is showing up a beautiful lady, who is called Danae.
I tend not to assosciate the picture to the myth but to that muse or friend or what their relation might be.
The painted woman looks surprised as if just awakened from a dream. She might have dreamt about this big dog of which she is not frightened at all. Male animals in dreams are often sexual beings coding for a man, she did not dare to dream of perhaps.
