Beautiful Young Lady Stroking Her Puppy Dog Metal Ornament

This design features a painting by the Italian artist Vittorio Matteo Corcos (1859–1933). It depicts an attractive and finely dressed young woman. She is playfully kneeling on a wooden crouch as she looks over at the viewer. She is leaning over with her hand and stroking her small pet puppy on the nose with her fingertip. The dog seems startled but awestruck by the lady. There are elegant stone friezes in a classical style behind the young woman, indicating that she lives in a very grand and opulent house. The lady is wearing a low-cut pink dress that shows off her slender curves. She is not afraid to flaunt her natural beauty. The puppy dog is white with a brown face and ears. It also has a pink collar, which is made out of some luxurious fabric, tied around its neck. The edge of the furniture on which the lady is leaning is gilded with intricate patterns. The original artwork was painted by Vittorio Matteo Corcos in 1895.
