Join man’s best friend on a walk through art history.

From ancient Egyptian busts to 1960s screenprints, portraiture is a historic art form beloved by painters, sculptors, and photographers alike. A History of Portraits in 21 Dogs offers a fun, unique guide to this fascinating genre, with 21 of the most important and recognizable masterpieces recreated with dashing dog subjects. Each reimagined artwork is accompanied by information about the original artist and portrait, as well as a bite-sized, illustrated breakdown of all the key elements of the piece.

Illustrated by art-lover and animal enthusiast Nia Gould, A History of Portraits in 21 Dogs is an accessible, engaging, and imaginative companion to feline favorite A History of Fashion in 21 Cats.
