The Child with a Dog, Son of Madame Marthe and the Dog Pamela, Taussat

The painting "The Child with a Dog, Son of Madame Marthe and the Dog Pamela, Taussat" is a 1900 painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir. The oil on canvas painting, currently housed at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum, measures 1.27 meters in height and 0.7 meters in width. The artwork depicts a young boy, dressed in a sailor suit, standing with a large black dog by his side. The boy's hand rests gently on the dog's head, and he gazes off to the side with a contemplative expression. The background of the painting is a blur of greens and blues, suggesting a landscape setting, possibly near the sea given the boy's attire.
