Original Description
The captivating watercolor Pekinese by German painter Richard Müller (1874-1954) exudes an air of delicate exoticism, blending Art Nouveau elegance with precise academic realism. Rendered in soft washes of sepia and gold, the titular Pekingese dog—a breed once revered in Chinese imperial courts—rests against embroidered textiles, its fur meticulously detailed to contrast with the dreamlike, flattened background. Created during Müller’s tenure as a professor at Dresden Academy, the work reflects his mastery of symbolic ambiguity, positioned between 19th-century academic traditions and emerging modernist tendencies. Though less known than his pupil Otto Dix, Müller’s works like Pekinese occupy a unique niche in European Orientalism, bridging Western fascination with Eastern motifs and the decorative impulses of the Jugendstil movement. Its intimate scale and intricate detailing invite viewers into a silent dialogue between cultures, executed with the subtlety of a miniaturist yet the compositional boldness of Symbolism.
For interiors, Pekinese would shine in a study or lounge with muted, textural richness—think linen-upholstered armchairs, lacquered wood surfaces, or subdued Chinoiserie accents to echo its Orientalist themes. Its warm sepia palette pairs effortlessly with terracotta, sage green, or deep aubergine walls, while a gilded frame would amplify its regal undertones. Given its likely small-to-medium size (typical of Müller’s works on paper), place it as a focal point above a console table or between bookshelves to encourage closer inspection. In offices, it lends sophistication to executive spaces, its contemplative tone balancing modern minimalism. Avoid overcrowding the surrounding area; let its intricate strokes command attention alongside a single celadon vase or a brushed brass lamp for harmonious contrast.
