About the Item

Attributed to Thomas William Earl (fl.1836-1890) A Yorkshire terrier in a favourite blue bow unsigned oil on card 7 ⅝ x 5 ⅝ in. (19.3 x 14.3 cm.) with frame 15 x 13 in. (38 x 33 cm.) This charming oil painting, attributed to Thomas Earl (1836–1885), depicts a Yorkshire Terrier resting gracefully on a crimson velvet cushion. Earl, renowned for his lifelike animal portraits, captures the delicate texture of the dog’s flowing coat with remarkable sensitivity. The terrier's alert yet gentle expression suggests a beloved companion, and the soft light accentuates the animal's elegant features. The rich, dark background draws attention to the subject, while the water-gilded Victorian frame adds grandeur, underscoring the 19th-century tradition of treating pets as noble subjects. This work exemplifies the artist's skill in imbuing his canine sitters with personality, humour and appeal. The condition is good, and the picture is in ready to hang condition. Should you require further images or information, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
