About the Item

​​​H.S. Phillip, circa 1855 Waiting for mistress signed and dated 'H.S. Phillip June 1855' (lower left) oil on canvas 22 x 16 in. (56 x 40.6 cm.) frame 27 ¾ x 21 ⅝ in. (70.5 x 55 cm.)​ This richly detailed interior scene by H.S. Phillip, a 19th-century British artist, presents a trio of dogs in a warm, genteel setting. The composition is carefully balanced: two spaniels rest on an ornately carved chair with a cane back, while a larger collie-type dog lounges on a patterned carpet below. The red-draped side table and wood-paneled wall enhance the sense of Victorian domesticity and comfort. Phillip’s careful handling of texture—from the velvet cushion to the dogs’ varied coats—reveals both technical skill and a fondness for his canine subjects. A quiet, intimate study that speaks to the era's affection for household pets.
