The Story Behind
Renowned animal painter and worldly portraitist, Xavier de Poret (1897-1975) is famous for his hunting scenes and studies of horses and birds. At the heart of a scarf released for the first time in 1956, calm and pensive dachshund hounds are designed in different postures. A hunting dog responsible for retrieving game, the dachshund is known for its intelligence and loyalty. The artist has affectionately sketched his furry friend, whose depth of vision is enhanced by a plain background.
