The White Poodle
Oil on panel, 16.5 by 42.8 cm, by Jean Béraud (1849-1935)
Location unknown
 

Dedicated to Béraud’s friend Lefèvre, this painting shows a white poodle sleeping on a richly coloured rug, its form softened by delicate brushwork. Béraud, best known for his depictions of Parisian street life, turns here to a quiet domestic moment with understated intimacy. His style blends realism with atmospheric looseness, allowing the textures and light to convey a sense of quiet warmth.
