About the Item

Medium: Oil Painting Signature: Signed Lower Right This illustration, commissioned by C. Moss and published in 1941, was distributed on promotional prints and calendars. The image was also reproduced on Tuco Deluxe Picture Puzzles around the same time. The heartwarming scene depicts a blonde little girl in a light pink dress tenderly embracing a Saint Bernard puppy standing on its hind legs, while two more playful puppies tug at her skirt. The watchful mother dog protectively oversees her brood, with another puppy peacefully sleeping behind her. A grand house completes this idyllic domestic scene. Titled “The Home Guard,” the illustration conveys the Saint Bernard’s inherent protective nature, diligently watching over her home and her beloved human and animal family members.

A Young Woman With Her Dog by Victor Ravet
Located in Stockholm, SE
In this exquisite painting by Victor Ravet, we are transported to an elegant interior setting reminiscent of the grandeur of high-class homes. The focal point is a woman adorned in a shimmering pink gown, radiating grace and sophistication. Bathed in gentle light, her dress catches the glimmer, accentuating her beauty. She holds a treat for a dog in her hand, enticing the furry companion who stands on its hind legs in eager anticipation. The canine's eyes fixated on the delicious morsel, capturing a moment of playful interaction between the woman and her loyal companion. The scene takes on a narrative quality as the young woman's other hand delicately lifts a curtain, hinting at another room beyond.
