Set in a dimly lit room with smoke swirling around the table, a group of anthropomorphic dogs engage in an intense game of poker. This archival image captures the essence of both history and humor. Painted over a century ago, Coolidge's masterpiece has become famous for its whimsical depiction of animals engaging in human activities. The artist's attention to detail is evident as each dog exhibits distinct personalities and expressions - from the stern-faced bulldog holding his cards close to his chest to the mischievous terrier peeking at his neighbor's hand.
