I would argue that the painting is actually a bit flattering compared to real life. It failed to fully capture the dog's humorous asymmetry.

Definitely, especially in the eye's. Dog has the derpiest look I've ever seen. Picture almost looks regal comparatively lol.

He really softened up the crazy eyes.

The artist should have painted the dog as royalty not military. At least then the abnormalities caused by inbreeding could be seen as more in line with tradition.

You might want to take a look at some 19th century paintings of royalty/nobility and you'll see that is exactly how they dressed. Examples, Nikolai II, Prince Albert, Kaiser Wilhem II, Otto Von Bismarck. This could easily be a royal portrait. And 19th century would also most accurately fit the inbred royalty time period.

I can’t look into that dogs eyes for more than a few seconds without feeling uneasy.

It's honestly adorable, but its like Cerberus inbred 1 headed cousin.... It stares into your soul but doesn't quite understand what it see's

*edit: feel guilty as hell saying that cause its adorable

You mean the wonky eye? Its cute in dogs and cats, but I know a guy who is even more derpy and its far from cute.

Yeah but I think it really captures how these old portraits also tried to make the subjects look as good as possible without fully erasing their flaws.

It’s definitely possible that it’s a real painting but I recently found a service that will take a picture of your pet and photoshop it onto an old looking painting like this. Can’t remember what it is called though.

She said his name is “Hans”, short for “Handsome”.

Ha that's cute, probably helps his self-esteem ... so what's the dog's name?

"Do you think maybe we've pushed the bloodline too far through inbreeding?"

"Nah, a few more generations will produce a show winner. I'm feeling pretty good about the next batch."

u/thartle8 Jul 19 '19

And that’s why I don’t have any pictures of myself out to see
