This is an oil on canvas by the Dutch artist Simon Schrikker, known for his powerful and dynamic animal portraits. The work captures the raw energy of a running canine, a recurring motif in Schrikker's oeuvre, rendered with his signature expressive technique.
Created in 2012, this large-scale painting measures 240 cm in width and 160 cm in height. The composition is executed in oil on canvas, which is professionally stretched on a durable aluminium frame by Artel. The palette is dominated by a vibrant, dripping crimson red, set against a tumultuous background of deep greens, blacks, and greys. This piece was originally acquired from an art gallery in The Hague, and Schrikker's work is held in public collections, including the Drents Museum.
The painting remains in excellent condition, with the canvas taut and the colours retaining their original intensity. The work shows no signs of damage and has been well-preserved since its creation, reflecting careful ownership.
With its monumental scale and dramatic presence, this artwork is destined to be a focal point in a spacious interior. It is particularly well-suited for a modern, industrial, or minimalist setting, such as a large living area, a high-ceilinged loft, or a corporate space.
