Original Description
Standing Pekingese by Harry Rountree is a charming yet historically significant depiction of the beloved Pekingese breed, rendered with the artist’s signature precision and warmth. Rountree, a prolific early 20th-century British illustrator and animal painter, captures the Pekingese’s regal posture and luxuriant coat with delicate brushwork, blending realism with a touch of whimsy. The painting’s soft, muted tones and intimate composition reflect the Edwardian era’s fascination with Orientalism and lapdog portraiture, a trend popularized by royal patronage. While Rountree is often overshadowed by contemporaries like Louis Wain, his works remain prized for their technical finesse and endearing character studies. This piece, in particular, exemplifies his ability to elevate animal portraiture beyond mere decorative art, securing its niche in the lineage of anthropomorphic pet depictions.
For display, Standing Pekingese shines in classic or eclectic interiors—think a study with rich wood tones, a powder room with vintage wallpaper, or a luxe office lounge. Its warm, earthy palette pairs beautifully with jewel tones (emerald, garnet) or neutrals like cream and taupe, allowing the dog’s expressive face to take center stage. A medium-sized frame (around 16x20 inches) ensures visibility without overwhelming smaller spaces. For balance, hang it alongside botanical prints or gilded mirrors to echo its old-world charm, or offset its traditional vibe with modern furnishings for a witty contrast. Avoid stark minimalism; the painting thrives in spaces that embrace texture and narrative flair.
