flower colours work so well with whole image, and the dog...hah, he's the best, guarding his lady.
beautiful composition

I just love Tissot. I like dogs but not Pugs particularly, they sniffle a lot poor things. Tissot could paint ladies like no one else imho.

I love the pug in the background!:) The color combination work really well in this painting.

I know this says 'private collection,' but do you have any more specific background on this painting... i.e. it's current owner, or location it was last sold. (country would suffice.)

-Thanks
