Dog

Tomotada

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a figurine of a dog titled "Dog" by Tomotada. The figurine is made of wood or ivory and features a dog sitting on its haunches with its mouth open as if howling. The dog has a brown and tan coloration with darker stripes on its body. Its head is tilted upwards, and its ears are perked up. The figurine appears to be an example of Japanese art, specifically a type of woodblock or sculpture. The background of the image is a plain gray color, which helps to highlight the details of the figurine.
