“Jumping Dog Schlick,” an oil painting created in 1908 by Franz Marc, belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement. The artwork measures 54.61 by 67.31 centimeters and falls within the genre of animal paintings.
The artwork captures the dynamic motion of a dog mid-leap, rendered with expressive and loose brushstrokes that emphasize movement and energy. The background consists of a blend of yellow and green hues, providing a vibrant, almost abstract setting that contrasts with the more defined figure of the dog. The dog’s coat is depicted in shades of brown and white, and its form is outlined with swift, assured strokes that convey a sense of liveliness and spontaneity. The overall composition suggests a moment frozen in time, filled with vitality and exuberance.
