Leonbergers are large dogs (males run 110-170 lbs.), known for their intelligence and gentle dispositions. You can see that in this chalk and watercolor portrait by the Dutch artist Otto Eerelman, who was particularly known for his work with dogs.
That pup looks like he(?) is contemplating something most serious.
