Original – An untitled painting by Francisco Goya, often called The Dog. Originally painted on plaster, it was transferred to canvas fifty years after Goya's death. It currently measures 131.5 cm × 79.3 cm (51¾ in × 31¼ in). The painting has been called the first symbolist, as well as the most beautiful, painting in the world.

Reason

Striking reproduction of a famous piece of art. Nice use of empty space, high resolution and EV.
