About this work

Artist: Franz Marc (1880–1916)
Year: 1909–10
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 80.5 × 114 cm
Collection: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC
Movement: Expressionism

Two large white dogs move across a field of snow from left to right, their pale bodies painted in creamy yellows and whites with soft blue shadows, so that they almost dissolve into the snow around them; a few brown branches cross the foreground. Marc painted it in 1909–10, just before he arrived at his symbolic colour, and the picture shows his earlier, Impressionist-influenced handling, with the animals observed from life. It was bought around 1910 through the Munich dealer Brakl by the physicist Ludwig Hopf and his wife Alice, who were forced to leave Germany in 1939 because of Nazi persecution and took it with them to Britain and Ireland. Stephen Kellen bought it from the family in 1958, and he and his wife gave it to the National Gallery of Art in Washington in 1983.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

Two white dogs crossing pale snow in soft yellow and blue, for a bedroom, hallway or child's room at 32×24 in natural wood. A white, pale grey or icy blue wall; it pairs with Dog Lying in the Snow.

Size. We'd hang this one at 32×24. Prints at 16×12, 24×18, 32×24 in — 16×12 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 24×18 above a console or sideboard; 32×24 as the statement piece above a sofa or headboard.

Framing. The gallery ground is part of the print, so frame it without a mat — natural wood flatters the lighter palette; black sharpens it.

Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is Siberian Dogs in the Snow in the public domain?

Yes. Franz Marc (1880–1916) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by National Gallery of Art.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 16×12, 24×18 and 32×24 inches; every size is also offered framed in black or natural wood, with plexiglass and no mat. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Siberian Dogs in the Snow painted, and in what medium?

Siberian Dogs in the Snow dates from 1909–10 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 80.5 × 114 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 32×24 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 24×18 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For Siberian Dogs in the Snow we'd choose 32×24. It is a landscape print, wider than it is tall, at the painting's own proportions.
