19th Century Dog Portrait with a Twist | Purebred Breeders

If you are a dog owner, then chances are you have taken tons of photographs of your four-legged friend. After all, your pooch is very much a part of your family. But photography is not the only way to capture loving memories of your dog. Purebred Breeders likes the idea of an actual portrait because it is an alternative that allows you to play around with many ideas, and even create scenes that represent another space and time. In fact, portraits have been a popular way of immortalizing pets for a long time.

From what Purebred Breeders sees, animal portraits these days (particularly those of dogs), have taken a new spin. You can now give your dog a 19^th century portrait which places your canine companion in a time long before he or she existed.  Any portrait can be fun, but a 19^th century portrait is not your typical kind. It is instead a regal piece that features your pooch with an air of nobility while giving off a sense of immortality.

Thanks to the dedication and quality work of the talented portrait artist Andrew Pinkham, dog owners everywhere can have stunning images of their dogs in 19^th century aesthetics. Each of these paintings is unique and is designed to capture the sheer beauty of the subject. As such, no two are alike. Purebred Breeders learned that each dog’s build, natural presence, lines and other unique characteristics are taken into consideration by the artist, resulting in a finished product that is sure to please.

The overall concept of "dog paintings" is not new, but they often capture the pooch in his or her own era. This is why Purebred Breeders believes the allure behind Pinkham's work is how well he transposes each pooch into pre-modern times. In fact, looking at the photos of his work, each piece is like his own rewriting of history as he beautifully forms a bridge between the past and the present to create a snapshot of each dog that looks authentic, timeless, and that will undoubtedly live on for many years to come.
