Vintage - Date Night for Dachshund Couple,

Vintage artwork by Arthur Thiele depicts a dapper Dachshund couple standing in front of a mirror as they get ready to go out for a night on the town. She wears a white frilly dress and holds a powder puff in her paw as she flirtatiously and demurely looks behind her at her dashing escort. He is dressed elegantly and carries a bouquet of flowers in one paw and his top hat in the other. The German artist, Carl Robert Arthur Thiele (1860-1936) commonly went by the name Arthur Thiele. He was an illustrator of books, sheet music and postcards. He was famous for his comical anthropomorphic animals dressed in clothing and depicted in human-like scenes. Dachshunds were a favourite subject of his. In addition to animals, other subjects he illustrated were sports postcards, vegetables brought to life, snowmen, bathing beauties, and WW1 era propaganda postcards. The Internet is full of references confusing Carl Robert Arthur Thiele with another German painter of his time named Julius Arthur Thiele who painted landscapes. They are not the same artist.
