A soulful and richly detailed 18th century Italian canine painting, this oil-on-canvas composition features three expressive hounds set against a dramatic mountainous landscape. Painted circa 1740, the work captures a balance of naturalistic observation and slightly naive charm, showcasing the emotional depth and character of each dog.

Signed “Gaclano” on the reverse and housed in an antique giltwood frame, this piece is an exceptional example of early Italian animal portraiture. A compelling addition for collectors of historic dog paintings, 18th century European art, or Old Master-style landscapes with narrative presence.
