Two St. Bernard dogs in snow beside an unconscious man; one wears a red saddle cloth and the other sniffs his head near dark rocks.

Two St. Bernard dogs rescuing an injured man in the snow

Two St. Bernard dogs in a snowy alpine landscape attend to a man lying face down in the snow. One dog, draped with a red cloth, stands above and gazes outward, while the other bends low to nuzzle the man's head beside a dark rock face. This colour chromolithograph after Edwin Landseer shows the scene in deep snow.
