Dogs. Constantinople is a 1910 tempera by Martiros Saryan, a Post-Impressionism work, depicting Dog, held at National Gallery of Armenia.
This painting depicts a group of dogs in various poses, with some lying down and others standing or walking. The dogs are rendered in warm, earthy tones, with shades of brown, beige, and tan dominating the palette. A few dogs have black markings, adding contrast to the overall scene.
