Three Hungry Pekingese Dogs
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a charming and evocative painting by British artist A.E. Kennedy, depicting three Pekingese dogs with ravenous appetites. Dated circa 1912, this artwork captures the unique character and expression of these ancient Chinese breeds. The trio of Pekingese dogs sit huddled together on a tiled floor, their eyes fixed intently on a bowl of food placed just out of reach. Their tongues loll out of their mouths in anticipation, and their bodies are taut with hunger. The eldest dog in the group, with a distinguished silver muzzle, gazes at the bowl with a determined expression, as if willing it to fill with sustenance. The middle dog, with a coat of glossy black fur, looks up at his companions with a hopeful and slightly anxious expression. The youngest dog, with a coat of rich red and white, nuzzles against the older dog's side, a sign of affection and solidarity in their shared hunger. The painting is executed in oil on canvas, with rich and vibrant colors that bring the scene to life. The use of light and shadow adds depth and texture to the image, making the dogs seem almost lifelike. The tiled floor and simple background serve to draw the viewer's attention to the dogs themselves, and the composition of the painting invites us to imagine the story behind their hunger. Pekingese dogs were first brought to Europe in the late 19th century and quickly became popular pets due to their distinctive appearance and affectionate nature. This painting captures a moment in their history when they were still relatively unknown in the West, and serves as a reminder of the enduring bond between humans and their pets. The title "Three Hungry Pekingese Dogs" adds a touch of whimsy and humor to the image, making it a delightful addition to any art collection or home decor.
