About the Item
Attributed to Alfred Wheeler (1852-1932)
A noble friend (possibly a Manchester terrier)
oil on canvas
10 x 8 in. (25.3 x 20.3 cm.)
frame 15 ⅜ x 13 ⅛ in. 39 x 34 cm.)
This finely observed portrait, attributed to Alfred Wheeler, captures the alert elegance of what appears to be a Manchester terrier rendered with dramatic chiaroscuro. Set against a dark, arched backdrop, the dog turns slightly in profile, its glossy black and tan coat subtly catching the light. Wheeler’s reputation for lifelike and expressive animal portraits is evident in the sensitive modelling of the terrier’s features and the atmosphere of quiet dignity. Likely painted in the late 19th century, due to the age of the canvas, stretcher and frame, the work blends naturalism with classical restraint, evoking both the loyalty of the subject and the refined taste of its Victorian owner.
