Two dead birds hang from a hook in each painting. One shows a single dog guarding the game. The other pairs two dogs, their coats red and white. These works are rare examples of animal still lifes from 19th-century Romania. They mix practical detail with quiet pride in the hunt. The dogs stand alert, not straining, just watching. Check out the pair at the Museum of Ethnography.
