About the Item

Jean Matet (French, 1870-1936) 'Beauty' - a mischievous terrier signed and dated ‘J. Matet' (lower left) and inscribed and dated 'BEAUTY. 1898’ (lower right) oil on canvas 13 x 9 ⅞ in. (33 x 25.1 cm.) frame 16 ½ x 13 ¼ in. (41.9 x 34.3 cm.) This delightful portrait by French artist Jean Matet captures the lively expression and tousled charm of a small terrier named 'Beauty'. Painted in 1898, the composition focuses squarely on the dog’s alert gaze and upright ears, with its fur rendered in loose, confident brushstrokes. The vivid bow adds a playful touch, reinforcing the dog’s mischievous character. Matet conveys personality with immediacy and affection. The bold inscription of the dog’s name and date lends the work an almost poster-like presence, blending portraiture with turn-of-the-century graphic sensibility.
