Portrait of a Woman with a Dog

Hendrik Gerritsz. Pot

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image features a woman sitting next to a table with a dog. The woman has a fair complexion and wears a white head covering. Her attire consists of a white neck ruffle, a long-sleeved black dress, white gloves, and a shawl with a brown fur trim. The woman sits on a chair with a dark-colored backrest, positioned to the right of a table covered with a dark red cloth. On the table, there are two books stacked on top of each other. A small white dog with brown spots lies on the floor to the left of the woman. The background of the image includes a green wall and a light-colored floor. To the right of the woman, there appears to be a dark-colored object with a white top, possibly a fireplace or mantle.
