Golden Retriever at Rest, Oil On Canvas by Terry Daugherty, 1992
Viridian Eclection
The Piece
A quiet, affectionate portrait of a golden retriever at rest, reclining along a wooden fence line framed by soft greenery and dappled light. Posture and expression are rendered with a familiarity that feels drawn from life, and particular care is given to the coat and face. Brushwork is controlled and even, the palette grounded in browns, greens and soft golds. It is intimate and calm, more about presence than performance. The painting is presented in a solid wood frame with a warm finish, a traditional stepped profile and a neutral inner liner.

Why It Belongs in Your Home
Warm without sentimentality, this painting belongs wherever comfort matters more than statement: a living room, a study, a hallway, or the wall by the back door where the leash hangs. It will speak most to anyone who knows dogs as companions.
Keep it out of direct sun and away from heat and humidity. Dust the frame with a soft, dry brush, and leave any cleaning of the painted surface to a conservator.

Antiques are irreplaceable and one-of-a-kind. Carrier handling is outside our control once a piece has left our facility, and major carriers including FedEx do not insure antiques.
