At his feet, a little dog symbolizes fidelity, and a burning candle represents both the flame of love and the ephemeral nature of passions. Oil on panel, 58 x 87.5 cm. Three horizontal boards. On the reverse, six small reinforcing cleats. (Some small gaps, restorations and oxidation). Expert : M. Patrice Dubois
