Early 20th Century Flemish Spaniel Pyrography Panel
Located in Chicago, IL
This early 20th-century Flemish low-relief panel showcases the exquisite artistry of pyrography, a technique where designs are burned into wood using a heated tool. Here, two hunting spaniels adorned with studded collars and leashes are meticulously rendered, their lively expressions captured with remarkable detail.
