Boys With a Mastiff Dog (by Francisco Goya) Stone Coaster

This design features a painting by the Spanish artist Francisco Goya (1746–1828). It shows two young boys happily playing with a mastiff dog in a countryside landscape. A mastiff is a large and powerful breed of dog: they typically have a short coat, a long low-set tail and large feet. Mastiffs have historically been guard dogs, protecting homes and property, although they have also been used as hunting dogs. The original artwork was painted by Francisco Goya in 1786.
