Signed G.C. Brandner, this tender painting captures Victorian-era sentiment through a modern lens — a lovely piece for traditional, English country, or dog-loving interiors.
A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel rests quietly on a striped wool cape, gently draped over a round traveling case — likely a hatbox. The dog’s gaze is alert yet patient, as if awaiting a journey with a cherished companion. With its finely rendered textures and restrained palette, the painting captures a moment of stillness and emotional depth. Whether the cape belonged to a gentleman or a lady is left unsaid, adding to the quiet intimacy and universality of the scene.
Executed in acrylic on canvas, this work evokes the sentimental tone and domestic focus found in 19th-century animal portraiture. Likely created in the early to mid 20th century, the painting is signed G.C. Brandner, in the lower right corner. A charming addition to traditional or English-inspired interiors, and a heartfelt piece for dog lovers and collectors of canine art.
