About the artwork

This vertical colour photograph shows a charming and cheerful scene in a typical Dutch landscape. In the centre of the picture, a small, fluffy dog - a Pomeranian - sits exactly in the middle of a narrow earth path running between two rows of brightly coloured tulips. The dog sits upright, with its paws neatly tucked under it, looking straight into the camera with a calm, slightly curious gaze. Its coat is long, full and creamy on the front, with dark brown to black highlights along the flanks and back.

The tulips on either side of the path are red with yellow accents and in full bloom. They form a symmetrical frame around the animal and draw the eye to the horizon, where the path visually disappears. The photograph's low angle of incidence and sharp focus on the dog create a strong sense of depth. The background shows in soft blur (bokeh) some farms and trees in an open, rural area under a light blue sky with pink evening light.

The dominant colours in the image are:

#DA1C26 (red of the tulips)

#FFD966 (yellow tulip accents)

#1E441E (dark green of the leaves)

#C2B280 (light coat)

#3E3E3E (dark coat)

#87A2C7 (sky and background)

The photo exudes a sense of spring, peace and joy. The contrast between the natural landscape and the little pet makes the image special and engaging. The composition is carefully chosen, with a perfect balance between subject and surroundings, and the warm glow of the light suggests a golden-hour shot (at sunrise or sunset
