EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in exquisite detail is Tama, The Japanese Dog (c1876), a tender portrait of a lap dog painted by French Impressionist master Pierre-Auguste Renoir. This intimate scene was created for the esteemed collector and banker Henri Cernuschi, who shared Renoir's passion for Asian art.
In this close-up view, Tama sits regally on its haunches, its black coat adorned with a delicate white pattern resembling a Japanese kimono design. The dog's large eyes gaze directly at us, as if sharing secrets of the Orient. The subtle play of light and shadow across its fur adds depth and texture to this charming portrait.
Renoir's brushstrokes are characteristic of his Impressionist style - soft, feathery strokes that capture the gentle curves of Tama's body. This beautiful print is a testament to Renoir's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects, whether human or animal. As part of Heritage Images' collection, this stunning piece provides a glimpse into the artistic heritage and cultural exchange between France and Japan during the late 19th century.
