Walter Herbert Wheeler
A noble bulldog

1910

About the Item

Walter Herbert Wheeler (British, 1868-1960) A noble bulldog signed ‘WH Wheeler (lower right) oil on board 7 ¾ x 7 ¼ in. (19.7 x 18.3 cm.) with frame 10 x 9 ¾ in. (25.4 x 24.8 cm.) This compelling portrait by Walter Herbert Wheeler captures the stoic dignity of a British Bulldog with remarkable intensity and character. Set against a dark, neutral background, the dog’s powerful musculature and distinctive folds are rendered with crisp precision and tonal depth. Wheeler, best known for his animal portraits, excels here in conveying the breed’s tenacity and quiet strength. The sitter’s soulful eyes and subtly furrowed brow evoke both loyalty and a hint of melancholy, elevating the image beyond simple likeness to something more intimate. A fine example of early 20th-century British dog portraiture, full of presence and painterly control.
