Man and Woman with Two Dogs, known as 'Teasing the Pet'

About this work

In this painting, a man and woman are shown together, each holding a dog. The woman is dressed in a red and white dress with a blue skirt, while the man wears a brown hat and coat. The scene is set against a dark background, with the subjects positioned in front of a table covered with a patterned rug. The woman's dress and the man's hat are rendered in vivid colors, standing out against the darker tones of the background. The dogs, one brown and one white, add a sense of movement to the scene. This painting is held at the Mauritshuis.
