This painting depicts two French bulldogs resting on draped fabric with a prominent geometric top. One dog is a light, creamy color, turned to look at him with a wary, or rather relaxed, expression on his muzzle. Another is black, who may even get angry in the shadows, lie, respectfully and deeply marvel at the expanse.
The background of the picture is thick greenery, which conveys a sense of natural calm. The fabric under the dogs has a folded, organic welt, which suggests a porous structure or like the skinny little baby of an exotic creature, which adds a surrealistic effect to the picture.
The softness of the dogs’ khutra contrasts with the clear lines of the fabric and the graphic composition. Light highlights on the coat, especially in a cream bulldog, convey warmth and plasticity of shape. The black bulldog breaks out in the shadows, revealing the depths.
The picture brings out the realism of the depiction of creatures with decorative elements, which create expressive, emotional and outright mystery.
