Braan, a Celebrated Scottish Deerhound is a 1836 oil by Thomas Duncan, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting features a large, tan-colored dog with a long, shaggy coat, standing in a field. The dog's head is turned to the right, and its tail is curled up. In the background, there is a rocky outcropping and a cloudy sky. The dog's fur is depicted in great detail, with thick brushstrokes used to convey its texture. The overall effect is one of a sense of movement and energy, as if the dog is about to spring into action. For more information on the artist behind this work, look up Thomas Duncan.
