Today we present what might be one of the cutest dogs in art history! Half awake, eyes slightly open, the dog snoozes curled up on a shelf. It nestles on various household items: a clay pot, a bundle of twigs, a wicker basket and a lone slipper. The artist painstakingly depicts dogs and their textures—soft quills, wet snouts, rough paws—bring life to the animals. Obviously, Deo is really showing off his skills. The painting is ridiculously small; it’s only 16.5 x 21.6 centimeters (6.49 x 8.5 inches). Every object painted here demonstrates Deo’s virtuosity. I’m personally a cat lover, but I couldn’t resist, I wanted to cuddle this adorable puppy!

PPS Gerrit Deo’s dog is one of the stars of our 50 animal paintings postcard set (along with other beautiful cats, dogs, birds, and even a crab!).
