L’Appel [The Call] is an intimate oil painting executed on cardboard, giving the surface a matte, softly textured presence. The composition centers on a single dog’s face, painted in warm ochres, soft pinks, and gentle browns, set against a muted blue-grey background that allows the features to stand out with quiet clarity. Loose, expressive brushstrokes shape the dog’s heavy folds and soulful eyes, while subtle variations in tone bring depth to the fur.

The mood of L’Appel [The Call] is one of vulnerability and yearning, as the dog’s upward gaze evokes a mix of longing, trust, and quiet devotion. There is a gentle ache in the expression, yet also an undeniable warmth that draws the viewer in. The painting radiates empathy and presence, making it especially appealing to dog lovers and anyone moved by sincere, unguarded emotion in art. It gently invites the viewer into a quiet exchange, held in the depth of the dog’s attentive eyes.
