Firedog

Cleveland Museum of Art

The "Firedog" by French artist Emile-Louis Picault depicts a sculpture with a woman sitting on top. The woman sits on a chair with her back to the left side and her head turned to the right, wearing a short dress. Her left leg is bent with her foot on the pedestal, and her right leg is bent with her foot on the ground. She holds her left hand up with her palm facing down. The sculpture's base features a dark grey color with gold accents. Two small plants are on either side, and a vase with flowers is visible through an oval opening in the middle. The sculpture sits on top of two lion feet. The background of the image is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
