About the Item

"Making a Beseech" (Frill Dog series). A colorful contemporary dog painting of a Scottish Terrier dog with accompanying text from a book is an inspirational departure from the traditional illustrations found in British Rudyard Kipling's "Thy Servant a Dog", 1930. The book was the first ever narrated by a dog, Boots, a Scottie. Making a beseech is the only trick the Scottie, Boots knows, paws over nose. Nancy van Meter was inspired by her love of Scotties and old books and created this stunning and amusing painting for the exhibition "Thy Servant a Dog; An Installation" which was displayed at two museums; The Corcoran Gallery of Art in 1998 and a diptych at the Art Museum of the Americas in 1997 both in Washington DC. A painting from "Thy Servant a Dog" is in the permanent collection at Corcoran Gallery of Art. The acrylic and mixed media painting on paper is made with very durable materials. The work is unframed; framing services are available. Framing options are available. The original book is part of the purchase.
