A beautifully rendered oil on canvas, signed and dated 1857 by listed French artist C.L. Berthier, depicting a tranquil scene of greyhounds at rest in twilight. The artist’s skilled brushwork and mastery of light capture both the elegance of the hounds and the soft, atmospheric quality of dusk, a hallmark of 19th-century French realism.

Set in an ornate 22k gilded frame, this work showcases Berthier’s refined ability to portray emotion through posture and environment. A rare and elegant piece for collectors of animal portraiture, French academic painting, or romantic realist works from the mid-19th century.
