Long-haired Dog Beneath Blossoms is a 1737 unspecified by Giuseppe Castiglione, held at National Palace Museum.
This painting depicts a serene scene of a long-haired dog standing beneath blossoming flowers. The dog, with its brown coat and white paws, is positioned in the lower left corner of the image, facing right. Its tail is raised, and it appears to be sniffing the flowers. The blossoms are pink and white, with green leaves, and are attached to a tree with a gnarled trunk. The background of the painting is a light beige color, with some Chinese characters visible in the upper left corner. The painting's style is reminiscent of traditional Chinese art, with bold brushstrokes and vivid colors. The artist has used a range of techniques to create depth and texture in the image, from the smooth fur of the dog to the rough bark of the tree. The painting is held at the National Palace Museum.
