Description :

Nancy Carlyle 1973 Signed Pug Oil Painting – Framed Animal Art Los Angeles

Details: Original signed oil painting of a pug by listed animal artist Nancy Carlyle, dated 1973. Expressive portrait featuring warm golden tones and strong detailing in the eyes and facial folds. Signed “N Carlyle ’73” in the lower right corner. Retains original gallery label on verso reading “ANIMAL ART, 3925 Michael Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90066.” Professionally framed in a wood and gilt frame with black inner matting. A charming vintage canine portrait with strong mid-century 1970s character.

Measurements (Approximate):
• Framed: 16–20” tall, 13–17” wide
• Visible art area: 10–14” tall, 8–12” wide

Condition: Painting surface shows age-appropriate craquelure and light surface wear consistent with a 1973 oil. Frame shows scuffs, edge wear, and finish loss, particularly along lower edges. Backing paper shows aging and staple wear. Structurally sound and display-ready.

Historical Note: Nancy Carlyle was known for detailed animal portraiture, with works distributed through Los Angeles galleries in the 1970s. Animal portrait paintings—particularly dogs—remain a steady collector category, especially when signed and retaining original gallery labeling.

Estimated Value: $225
