More about this artwork

In the painting, there is a large stylized depiction of a white dog with bold, sweeping contours and minimalist features. The dog appears curious and focused on a small snail, which is drawn with a dark, simplistic shell and is positioned in the lower left of the composition. Peering out from behind vertical, dark bands, which could be interpreted as stylized bamboo or bars, are two small faces of puppies or perhaps small dogs. Their expressions and the positioning of their eyes seem to convey intrigue or caution as they observe the interaction between the large dog and the snail.
