Pat McCarthy Corgi Portrait, Oil on Florentine Board, 8” x 8”, Antique Gilt Frame

An oil painting on Florentine board by Pat McCarthy, depicting a corgi seated on a dark wood chest, a swag of red fabric draped beside it, set against a shadowed interior with a glimpse of doorway behind. Loose, confident brushwork in warm ochres and whites against a near-black ground gives the dog real presence, alert, watchful, caught mid-glance. Signed “P. McCarthy” lower left.

The board measures 8” x 8” and is set in an ornate Florentine-style frame, gilt wood with a scrolling gesso pattern in cream and gold, a scalloped outer edge, and a decorative gilt finial at the top. The frame is period in feel, hand-finished, and adds significant presence beyond the painted surface itself.

Each piece is vintage or antique and has lived a life before finding its way to Tallmadge Ave; natural signs of age, wear, patina, and imperfections are part of its character and are to be expected. All pieces are sold as-is, and any notable condition issues are described in the product listing. That said, if it arrives damaged or isn't as described, we'll refund you in full, including shipping — since each piece is one of a kind, we can't simply send a replacement. Otherwise, returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery. Questions any time at christine@tallmadgeave.com — we're a two-person shop, and we answer.
