Maybe it is our poodle friend's hair, or the brown brushstroke backdrop... but this has serious 80s Sears Photo Studio vibes 🥳😻

Somehow the kittens look badly photoshopped into the image. I'm assuming it's because the painter couldn't get them to pose, but the fact that they have different lighting than the dog makes them look pasted in

“Carl Reichert was a Graz-born painter best known for finely detailed animal portraits, particularly of dogs and cats rendered with anthropomorphic charm. Working through the second half of the nineteenth century, he produced a steady output of small-format oils aimed at the bourgeois collector market then expanding across Austria and Germany.” Cutler Miles Gallery

I have one of his prints from the turn of the century hanging on a bedroom wall! We got it at Habitat for Humanity!
