dog portrait

Painted pet image

A dog portrait is a painting, photograph, or other artistic depiction of a dog, typically commissioned or created to capture a beloved pet's likeness and personality.

The tradition dates to aristocratic oil paintings of prized hunting dogs, but modern dog portraits range from formal studio photographs to stylized digital illustrations: We had a dog portrait made of our golden retriever.
