Spaniel (Paper Weight)

Cleo Lovett

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a brown dog-shaped paperweight on top of several sheets of paper. The paperweight has a shiny finish and rich golden-brown tones. The paper beneath is off-white, and the surface beneath them is a light brown textured material. The paperweight is centrally positioned in the image, sitting directly on the stack of papers that are slightly fanned out, with the surface providing a flat, stable background. Above the paperweight are the words "PAPER WEIGHT CIRCA 1849" in uppercase letters.
