Dog-shaped Paperweight

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Dog-shaped Paperweight by Unknown Artist depicts a small, bronze sculpture of a dog. The dog appears to be lying down on its stomach with its mouth open, as if barking or snarling. The sculpture has a weathered appearance with visible signs of aging, including a green patina on its surface. The dog's body is depicted in a dynamic pose, with its head raised and mouth open, giving the impression of movement. The sculpture is positioned on a gray surface, with a gradient background transitioning from dark to light.
