- About this work
-
The commitment and dedication required to train a dog is perfectly captured by Ker Xavier Roussel’s aptly named work Teaching the dog. This colour lithograph is greatly influenced by Japanese woodcuts and French Symbolist painting. It depicts a woman patiently training her dog – a scene that many dog owners would be familiar with.
