Two Seated Basset Hounds

Emmanuel Fremiet

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts two dogs sitting closely together. One dog sits slightly behind and leans against the other. The sculpture is crafted from a dark-colored metal, likely bronze. The dogs are sculpted in a realistic style, showing the texture of their fur and the expressiveness of their faces. The dogs are resting on an oval base that resembles the ground. The size and details suggest the sculpture is designed for close viewing.
