Portrait of a Dog

-
Oil on canvas, 52 x 67 cm
Galleria Palatina (Palazzo Pitti), Florence

The dog, depicted in the painting attributed to Tiberio di Tito, is a cross-bred hound. His collar, armed with studs and points, may also be seen in the painting, lying on the red cloth; it bears the Medici coat-of-arms, a sure indication that the dog belonged top the family.
