Lady Playing with a Dog is a 1670 oil by Eglon van der Neer, a Baroque work, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
A woman plays with a dog in this painting. She's sitting in a quiet room, looking happy. The dog is jumping up to her, and she's laughing. The woman's clothes and the room's furniture look old-fashioned. This was a common scene in Dutch homes back then. The artist paid attention to details like the woman's dress and the dog's fur.
