Dog Painting- Japanese Spaniel? Japanese Chin? KING CHARLES Spaniel? - signed & dated

O/C Enchanting Dog- European c. 1918

The painting features an enchanting image of a Spaniel lying amongst cushions. The piece is signed and dated Emil W. Herz I 1918 (see photo details). Many enthusiasts who have inspected this work have offered various opinions as to the type of spaniel shown, ranging from a Japanese Spaniel, a Japanese Chin or a King Charles spaniel.

<P>
Beautifully executed, the painting has a wonderfully decorative presence, a loose suggestive painterly style accented with the expressively and finely rendered face and eyes of the small dog. The composition is masterfully handled, the dog positioned in the lower portion of the canvas while bold swaths of color create the background. The effect is very dramatic and compelling.

<P>
The painting is in a period frame, likely original to the work. The painting is in wonderful condition, with no signs of any restoration or over-painting. The back of the canvas bears an old paper label that reads? "A.v.Lude- Hamburg". The vintage frame shows expected signs of age and gentle wear. This is a very beautiful work, in a wonderful/original state, sure to be a stunning addition to any decor.
<P>
The FRAMED work measures approximately 29" w. x 25.5" ht. / UNFRAMED measure is 24" w. x 21" ...
