Young Woman with a Little Dog
Oil on canvas, 108 x 85 cm, by Vittorio Matteo Corcos, c. 1895
Location unknown
 

A young woman leans over an ornate seat and gives us a knowing smile, her satin gown gathered about her as she makes a teasing gesture at her small dog, which follows the movement with eagerness. The painting style belongs to the salon tradition of the period, marked by elegance, subtle use of colour, and a fondness for classical ornament.
