Ulla and Carl Gustaf Tessin had many pets. The dachshund Pehr, a gift from royalty, has become the most famous of them. He accompanied them on several trips abroad, including to Paris. Here, Pehr is guarding the hunter’s trophies, with a rifle leaning against the wall beside him. Although Tessin himself is not depicted, this could be regarded as a portrait of him. The painting was a gift from the artist, who in return received a gold box from Tessin.
