Two Studies of a Dog is a 1700 oil by Luca Carlevarijs, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two quick oil sketches of the same scruffy dog. One sits, the other stands. Both are done in loose brushstrokes with subtle color shifts. These weren’t meant to be finished paintings. They’re practice pieces Carlevarijs used to study movement and light before adding dogs to his bigger works. Check out Carlevarijs, Luca if you like this loose, live style.
