For this painting, Marcel Pouget demonstrates his mastery of the small format. The artist twirls the colors. Crisp, sharp and swirling, they push the boundaries of the frame and give depth and character to its subject, the dog.

The animal evokes both thousand-year-old representations of cave painting and those, later, of the fantastic bestiary.

Not devoid of humour, Marcel Pouget borrows from mystical aesthetics to restore a very real triviality: the conscience of the dog. With a hollow belly, he observes the spectators as if he were ready to be approached to pet him and feed him.
