This late 19th-century French oil painting on canvas presents a finely detailed portrait of two hunting dogs, likely Griffon-type hounds, exuding the realism and charm characteristic of the period’s animal portraiture. Signed in the lower right corner by G. Corbier—Gaston Corbier (1869–1945)—the painting captures the noble and expressive nature of these dogs with remarkable attention to detail.
The composition features one dog gazing directly at the viewer, its deep eyes full of intelligence and loyalty, while the second dog is depicted in profile, mouth slightly open, giving a sense of liveliness and natural movement.
Condition Note: The canvas has undergone some restoration, with visible repaired areas on the back, ensuring its longevity while maintaining its original beauty.
