Be My Friend

A close-up portrait of a French bulldog's head and forepaws, rendered frontally with large upright ears, deep facial folds, and pale blue eyes, filling almost the entire square composition. The animal is depicted in loose grey and black brushstrokes with pink-toned inner ears against a cream ground, with a red seal mark near the lower left and the artist's signature in the lower right; a horizontal wash of tan defines the surface the paws rest on. "Be My Friend," a Chinese brush painting by Weiqi Wang, 2014.
