In the painting, two dogs sit on a table, one looking at the other. The dog on the right has long, shaggy fur and is sitting on a dark-colored rug. The dog on the left has shorter fur and is sitting on a chair. The table is made of light-colored wood and has a pair of scissors and a pipe on it. The background is dark and indistinct, but it appears to be a room with a window. The overall mood of the painting is quiet and contemplative. The use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting. Check out the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp.
