Original Framed Pastel Portrait of a Doberman Pinscher

This is an original 8x10 inch pastel painting of a Doberman Pinscher on suede pastel board, presented in a formal frame. The artwork features a high level of detail in the rendering of the canine subject, utilizing the velvety texture of the suede board to mimic the soft sheen of the dog's black and tan fur. The dog is positioned centrally against a vibrant, textured green background, wearing a distinctive light blue or teal collar. Anatomical proportions are accurately captured, showing high craft quality and a realistic style. The piece is signed and dated in the lower-right quadrant of the image, appearing to read '2013'. The art is matted with a dual-matting technique featuring a thin black inner border and a wider neutral beige outer mat. It is housed in a substantial, classically styled wooden frame with a warm honey-oak or cherry finish and a deep profile. The condition appears excellent with no visible fading, smudging, or moisture damage to the suede board or matting. The frame is structurally sound with a smooth finish, showing very minor shelf wear consistent with an item about a decade old.
