Lady with a Dog

Mather Brown

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a woman and a dog. The woman wears a large, curly grey wig, a green dress, and a white ruffled collar with a pink bow. She sits on a red couch with a dog beside her. The dog has a white body with brown and black patches, and it looks to the right. The woman's left hand rests on the dog, and her right hand is in her lap. A landscape scene is visible on the right side of the painting, and a brown curtain hangs behind the woman. The woman's dress has a shiny green skirt and a dark green shawl draped over her shoulders. Her face is pale with light skin.
