The artwork, entitled “Fox Terrier on the Pont des Arts,” was created by the artist Robert Doisneau in the year 1953. This piece belongs to the genre of photography.
The artwork captures a black-and-white scene on the Pont des Arts in Paris, emphasizing the everyday life and atmosphere of the area. In the foreground, a man dressed in a long coat and hat is holding a fox terrier on a leash. The man’s posture suggests a moment of pause or contemplation, as he looks intently ahead of him. The fox terrier stands alert with its head turned slightly to the side. In the background, another man, also wearing a hat, is engaged in painting at an easel. The scene is serene yet lively, with the overcast sky and bare trees indicating a colder season. The photograph encapsulates a sense of calm and introspective urban experience, characteristic of Doisneau’s work in capturing Parisian life.
