Portrait of a Borzoi
and a Gordon Setter Oil on canvas, 66 x 57.7 cm, by Eugène Joors (1850–1910) Location unknown |
||||||||||
| Not unlike two characters caught mid-scene, the Borzoi’s elegant bearing and the setter’s soulful gaze set up a striking contrast. Joors plays their differing eye-lines against one another, drawing attention in two directions at once and introducing a slight visual unease. |
