| About the painting - by Daniela Ria:
Samoyed in Eskimo clothes. The Samoyed is a sled dog originated in Siberia and used by nomadic tribes for herding reindeers. They also served as a "blanket" for their owners, as they world sleep on top of the nomads to keep them warm at night. Recent DNA analysis of the breed has led to the Samoyed being included amongst the fourteen most ancient dog breeds. |
