    Since this is a 100% hand-painted artwork made to order, delivery takes a bit longer than mass-produced prints. Here is the exact breakdown:

    • Processing (14–21 Business Days): Our artists craft and hand-paint your piece. High-quality oil paintings require time for layers to dry properly to ensure they arrive in perfect condition.
    • Shipping Transit: Once your painting passes quality control, it is handed over to our reliable shipping partners.
      • USA, Canada & Europe: 10–20 business days
      • Australia & Rest of World: 15–25 business days

    Customs Note: International orders may be subject to import duties/taxes, which are the buyer's responsibility.

Additional Information “Dogs Playing Poker” by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge

“Coolidge captured something genuinely comic and genuinely tender — dogs as stand-ins for every human vice and virtue we’d rather not acknowledge.” — American Popular Art, 1987

“The poker dogs became America’s most reproduced paintings — not in spite of their absurdity, but because of it.” — Smithsonian Magazine

#1. Commissioned for Cigars. The full series was commissioned around 1903 by Brown & Bigelow to be printed on promotional materials for their cigar brand — making these oil paintings some of the most commercially successful artworks in American history.

#2. The Most Reproduced American Paintings. It is estimated that reproductions of the “Dogs Playing Poker” series have hung in more American homes than any other set of paintings, establishing a unique place in popular culture.

#3. Self-Taught Genius. Coolidge was largely self-taught and worked as a sign painter, druggist, and newspaper founder before finding success as an illustrator — his populist instincts are written all over his art.
