Max Pollak produced a series of small portraits of pet cats and dogs, likely belonging to close friends and often sporting fashionable accoutrements. These serve as small windows into the humorous side of a serious artist. Here, a small white dog adorned in a red suit and matching bow exudes an air of charming excess.
