Description
In “The Little Gentleman”, Naledi Kgosi combines classical portraiture with a touch of rustic humor, portraying a dignified dachshund seated proudly upon a worn wooden chair. Painted in traditional oil-on-canvas style, the work balances elegance and wit — the dog’s composed posture echoing the grace of old-world portrait subjects.
Kgosi’s refined brushwork and warm, muted palette bring texture and charm to the composition, while subtle humor adds human warmth. This piece embodies sophistication and playfulness, transforming a beloved farm companion into a timeless figure of artistic poise.
