THOMAS GAINSBOROUGH

Pomeranian Bitch and Puppy (c.1777)

Detail from Portrait of Carl Friedrich Abel (1777)

The top painting features two dogs owned by composer and musician Carl Friedrich Abel. Looks like mama dog may have also been featured in Abel's portrait.

There's a humorous (if highly suspect) excerpt from the Tate about the top portrait:

It is reported by Gainsborough's biographer that, when the portrait of the musician's dogs first arrived at Abel's house, 'the deception was so complete that the elder subject, irritated at the presence of a supposed rival, flew at her own resemblance with such fury that it was found necessary to place the picture in a situation where it was free from her jealous anger' (Whitley 1915, p.363).
