Small Contemporary Painting By Karibou - Angèle - 14½" x 14½"

Angèle is a petite oil on cardboard that captures the affectionate humor of giving a small dog the full dignity of a formal portrait. Seated upright on a plush red cushion against a rich, warm backdrop, Angèle gazes forward with an expression of calm confidence, as if entirely aware of her importance. Karibou’s soft, careful brushwork highlights her creamy coat and dark, thoughtful eyes, balancing sincerity with a gentle tongue-in-cheek charm. It’s a delightful tribute to a small sitter who carries herself with unmistakable presence. In her poised little presence and the warm, theatrical setting around her, Angèle carries faint echoes of Manet’s tender dog portraits, and Bonnard’s intimate domestic scenes, placing her in a quietly charming dialogue with late-19th-century French painting.

This portrait will naturally appeal to those who share their lives with small, expressive companion dogs, especially Pug owners who recognize the proud, slightly self-important charm of this little sitter.
