Door Stop

Richard Barnett

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a carved stone sculpture of a dog. It depicts a seated dog with a rounded head, droopy ears, and an expressionless face. The dog's body is adorned with a repetitive pattern resembling fur and it has a prominent tail that curves alongside its body. The background is plain. The painting's style suggests detailed attention to the texture and simplicity of the sculpture's form.
