Oil on canvas, relined, cleaned and presented in a modern moulded frame. A study of a group of dogs and two cats peering outwards from a makeshift straw filled Kennell. Victorian dog paintings featuring cats reflect the era’s sentimentality and fascination with animal companionship. These charming 19th-century oil paintings highlight the cross-species friendships and cozy, domestic scenes heavily favoured during the period.
Canvas: 18 7/8 x 17 1/2 in. (48 x 44.5 cm.)
