"Bold Bluff" is one of the renowned paintings in the "Dogs Playing Poker" series by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge, an American artist known for his humorous and anthropomorphic depictions of dogs. Created in 1903, this painting, along with the others in the series, was originally commissioned by Brown & Bigelow to advertise cigars. The "Dogs Playing Poker" series has since become iconic in American popular culture, often referenced and parodied in various forms of media.

"Bold Bluff" specifically depicts a scene of a poker game with a group of dogs sitting around a table. The focus of the painting is on a Saint Bernard holding a cigar and a formidable hand of cards, as it stealthily passes an ace under the table to his partner. The other dogs at the table display a range of expressions, from suspicion to nervousness, as they try to read the situation and their opponents. The painting is characterized by its vivid portrayal of the dogs' human-like expressions and behaviors, which adds to the whimsical and satirical nature of the work.

Coolidge's "Bold Bluff" and the entire "Dogs Playing Poker" series have been both celebrated and critiqued over the years. While some art critics have dismissed the paintings as kitsch, lacking in serious artistic value, they have also been praised for their charm, wit, and the skillful anthropomorphism that Coolidge employed. The paintings have become a part of American folk art history, and "Bold Bluff" exemplifies Coolidge's unique contribution to the genre, continuing to captivate audiences with its blend of humor and artistry.
