Master Bedroom

Spotted: "Cindy Lahde" on Pinterest after Google image and Pinterest search, ca. July 2018

"Master Bedroom" by Andrew Wyeth (born on 12 July 1917) features the artist's pet dog, a Labrador, asleep on his bed. The article "You see Andrew Wyeth. I see 'Andy'" narrates the artist's granddaughter's stories behind Wyeth's popular works:

Victoria [the granddaughter] said the artist had come home tired one evening, wanting to take a nap, only to find Rattler had got there first. Andy's comment was, "You know, dogs are the damnedest thing. They just take over the house." Hence the title of the painting, "Master Bedroom." No mistaking who's in charge.

(I'm not quite sure, but it's likely that this artwork is in the Wyeth Family of Artists collection of Brandywine River Museum in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. It's not appearing on the Museum's online catalogue, though.)

In the Northern Hemisphere, the month of July is also referred to as the "dog days of summer."
