About the Item

Signed and inscribed ‘Mac/WH Wheeler’ (lower right) This striking portrait by Walter Herbert Wheeler presents a dignified black terrier in crisp profile, its wiry coat and alert ears rendered with subtle texture and tonal restraint. The sitter, identified as ‘Mac’ by the inscription, wears a simple studded collar and gazes with calm intensity into the distance. Set against a muted grey ground, the composition is quietly powerful, placing full focus on the terrier’s distinctive silhouette. Wheeler’s gift for capturing both breed characteristics and individual personality is on full display in this intimate study, enhanced by its wonderfully elaborate original frame. A characterful and beautifully balanced work.
