Kerry Blue Terrier Portrait Studio Perugia 1955

A Kerry Blue Terrier stands centered against a seamless pale gray backdrop in a quiet Perugia studio. The dog's coat displays the breed's signature soft, wavy texture with deep slate-blue tones that catch the diffuse midmorning skylight. Its triangular ears fold forward, framing a muzzle with distinct black pigmentation and a focused, dark eye that meets the lens directly. The subject sits on a worn wooden floor, casting a soft, warm shadow against the curved wall junction. Subtle highlights trace the curve of the dog's shoulder and the edge of its foreleg, showing the density of the fur. The image retains the characteristic grain and color vibrancy of 1950s Ektar film, rendered through a 50mm lens that keeps the terrier's features sharp while gently softening the background. A faint dust mote floats in the light beam near the dog's left flank.
