The Princess Wore Strand After Strand of Pearls and Looked Quietly Wistful
A tiara of gold and pink gems, tied with a pink silk ribbon, sits above the long gray ears of this Weimaraner princess. Her amber eyes look gentle and slightly wistful, and a lace ruff frames her silvery face. Strand upon strand of pearls hang down her chest, over a rose pink gown stitched with gold swirls and little pink flowers. Behind her, a golden shell, heaps of pink fabric, and clouds of roses fill the painting with a sweet, dreamy light.
The gray of the Weimaraner's coat is a lovely neutral among all the pinks and creams, and the painter let it shimmer with a faint silver sheen. Rococo portraits often play with delicate, close-together colors like this, which gives them a soft, glowing feel.
Weimaraners are sleek, athletic dogs bred for hunting. They are intelligent, energetic, and very attached to their families, and they often like to follow their people from room to room. They need plenty of daily exercise and mental stimulation, or they can become bored and destructive. Early training and socializing help a great deal. Their short coat is easy to groom, and they may be sensitive to cold. Ask your vet about feeding a deep-chested breed and about safe exercise routines.
With so many pearls, she might be the best-dressed dog in the entire kingdom, and the most devoted.
