About the Item

This handsome late Victorian dog portrait by S. Weldon depicts a terrier in profile, its alert expression and attentive gaze beautifully captured with painterly sensitivity. The artist has emphasised the animal’s character through careful attention to the glossy black and tan markings, set against a plain, warm-toned background that draws the viewer’s eye directly to the sitter. Dated 1898, the work reflects the enduring popularity of animal portraiture in late 19th-century England, when such paintings were commissioned both as personal keepsakes and as celebrations of loyalty, companionship, and sporting tradition. Weldon has handled the subject with warmth and intimacy, suggesting a sitter known and cherished by its owner. The painting remains in its original gilt frame, a period design with beaded and fluted mouldings that enhances the depth and richness of the composition while preserving its historical integrity. Together, frame and canvas form a fine example of late Victorian domestic portraiture, with particular appeal to collectors of canine art.
