A Little Dog on a Chair

A black-and-white spaniel-type dog sits upright on a dark wooden chair with brass-studded upholstery, its head turned toward the lower right. The muted brown background and soft light focus attention on the animal in a quiet interior. Initials appear in the lower left corner.
