About the Item
Edwin Loder of Bath (1827-1885)
The ambush (Fritz and a Manchester terrier)
inscribed 'Fritz' (lower right)
oil on canvas
10 x 12 in. (25.3 x 30. 4 cm.)
frame 13 ¼ x 15 ¼ in. (33.6 x 38.8 cm.)
This finely observed scene by Edin Loder captures two terriers poised in absolute concentration, their eyes fixed on a mousehole in the plaster wall. The composition exudes quiet tension, with the sleek black-and-tan dog balanced behind a rough-coated white and tan terrier named Fritz. The straw-strewn stable setting adds rustic charm and atmosphere.
It is likely that Fritz belonged to Loder, as the terrier appears in the artist's work on a number of occasions. Here, the dog’s intense expression and natural pose suggest not only the artist’s familiarity but genuine affection. A delightful example of Victorian canine portraiture imbued with humour and narrative.
