"Baltazar: A Dog from the Conde Pack" is an oil painting by the French artist Alexandre-François Desportes (1661–1743), who was renowned for his work as a painter of animals, still lifes, and hunting scenes. Created in the late 17th or early 18th century, this artwork exemplifies Desportes' skill in rendering the vitality and character of animal subjects, which earned him recognition and patronage from the French aristocracy, including Louis XIV.

The painting features Baltazar, a dog from the hunting pack of Louis de Bourbon, Prince of Condé, one of the most prominent noblemen and military leaders of his time. Desportes was often commissioned to paint portraits of prized animals, and in this work, he captures the essence of Baltazar with a lifelike representation that conveys the dog's physical attributes and individual personality. The artist's attention to detail, from the texture of the fur to the expressive eyes of the dog, showcases his mastery in animal portraiture.

"Baltazar: A Dog from the Conde Pack" not only serves as a testament to Desportes' artistic talent but also provides a glimpse into the cultural and social significance of hunting and the human-animal relationship among the French elite during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The painting is a valuable piece of art history that reflects the period's aesthetics and the role of animals in the lives of the aristocracy.

As a work by a notable artist in the realm of animal painting, "Baltazar: A Dog from the Conde Pack" is an important contribution to the understanding of genre painting in the Baroque period. It remains a subject of interest for art historians and enthusiasts who appreciate the intersection of naturalism and portraiture in European art.
