Painting by George Stubbs (circa 1800).
The dog appears to be a lurcher or a specially bred “deer greyhound”– greyhound crossed with something big and heavy.
I think the doe is a fallow deer.

That is a slightly deeper than usual painting with its references between the dog and the doe. Actually it calls to mind the similarity between the dogs that live with the sheep and the sheep they live with. This too, has a similarity.
Trippy. Groovy. Thanx!
