Small Contemporary Painting By Karibou - Le Chien De La Place - 14¼" x 14¼"

Le Chien de la Place [The Dog of the Square] is an oil on cardboard painting executed with compact, textured brushwork, presented in a simple light‑wood frame with a white mat.. A small, curly‑coated black dog sits in three‑quarter view, its white muzzle catching the light against a saturated backdrop that shifts from ember red to golden orange, anchored by an olive‑green ground. The composition is intimate and centered, the figure slightly turned as if acknowledging the viewer the figure slightly turned as if acknowledging the viewer, its steady, intent gaze giving the scene a quiet gravity.

The mood is tender and quietly observant, with a hint of gravity, as if the little guardian of the square has paused for a thoughtful look at the world around him. The warm, late-day glow behind him adds gentle radiance, while the feathery strokes of his coat give a soft, tactile presence. This expressive piece suits a creative studio, a welcoming hallway, or a cozy corner where art with character can shine. It also makes a memorable gift for dog lovers or anyone drawn to soulful, gently unconventional portraits.
