King Charles Spaniels, The Cavaliers's Pets, After Sir Edwin Landseer (1802–1873
About the Item
This charming composition features two King Charles Spaniels, depicted with Landseer’s characteristic sensitivity and attention to detail. The painting shows the dogs resting in a richly appointed interior setting, likely a drawing room or study, reflecting the refined and aristocratic associations of the breed.
The two spaniels are the central focus: One reclines comfortably on a velvet-covered footstool, its paws draped over the edge, head turned to face the viewer with soulful, expressive eyes.
The other stands beside the stool, alert and slightly raised, as though responding to a distant sound or awaiting its master’s return. Its coat is glossier and more lively, suggesting a more spirited temperament.
The dogs are of the Blenheim and tricolor varieties, with their long, silky coats painted in luscious detail — flowing ears, feathery tails, and soft underbellies rendered with delicate brushwork.
Behind them is a sumptuous interior backdrop: drapery, a carved table leg, or part of a richly upholstered armchair might be visible, hinting at a domestic setting of privilege and taste. The background remains subdued to keep focus on the dogs.
A small cavalier’s helmet or feathered hat lies nearby, likely symbolic — evoking both the breed’s historic name and their traditional association with royalty and the court of King Charles II.
The palette is warm and earthy, with rich browns, deep reds, and creamy whites contributing to the luxurious feel.
Landseer’s typical anthropomorphic touch is present: the dogs appear not just as animals but as beloved companions with distinct personalities — intelligent, devoted, slightly pampered.
Although this version is titled "After Landseer", indicating it’s a copy or homage, it still attempts to capture his unique blend of realism and sentimentality.
King Charles Spaniels were favored by the aristocracy, particularly during the Restoration period in England, and this painting plays on that legacy — portraying them not only as pets, but as near-regal figures in their own right. Landseer, who frequently worked with royal and noble patrons, often emphasized the loyalty, gentility, and charm of such animals, aligning them with the values of their human companions.
