Boy of Hallett Family with Dog

A young boy with bobbed reddish-blond hair stands beside a marble-topped table, holding a small black-and-white spaniel-type dog. He wears a dark red coat with brass buttons over a pale blue waistcoat and a frilled white collar, against a dim interior and a green landscape at right. The oil painting shows a formal portrait style.
