The “Dogs playing Poker” wall hanging is in the style of a series of oil paintings by American Cassius Marcellus Coolidge. "Dogs Playing Poker" is a famous 1903 oil painting by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge depicting anthropomorphic dogs around a card table. Commissioned to advertise cigars, the painting, along with its series of similar works, is known for its charmingly satirical style, with precise details of dog expressions, clothing, and human-like mannerisms that create a humorous, sophisticated, and kitschy aesthetic. Donated by Janet Cuttle.
