Courbet With a Black Dog
In 18 forty four, just a few years into this effort, one of his paintings was accepted. This is not a close up portrait, but a full view of the subject. That, of course, is courbet himself. And it's interesting because corbet appears to be sitting on the ground with an english spaniel standing partially on his lap. He has on a hat that has his upper face in shadow, and a drapy coat that slipped open at his leg to reveal a yellow lining. In earnest, he wrote to his parents, quote, within five years, i must have a reputation in paris.
