About the piece

Painted by George Morland in 1798, this work showcases his mastery of animal portraiture and rural life. The composition features a black-and-white setter standing alert while its red-and-white companion rests on a stone floor, all set against a moody, atmospheric backdrop of gnarled trees and a twilight sky.
