This captivating oil painting shows a detailed portrait of a sleeping dachshund. The artist has captured the dog's characteristic features with remarkable precision. In the foreground we see the dachshund's head and part of its body. The dog's shiny, reddish-brown coat is depicted with fine brushstrokes that seem to imitate each individual hair. The dog is sleeping peacefully with its eyes closed and its muzzle relaxed. He is resting on a cushion, which creates a beautiful contrast to his warm fur colour. The background of the painting is in darker tones, with a striking blue element in the top left-hand corner. These darker colours make the dog in the foreground stand out even more. Overall, the painting conveys an atmosphere of calm and cosiness and shows the artist's attention to detail as well as his ability to capture the gentle beauty of a slumbering pet.
