Not on view
An English mastiff, propped on its front legs sits within an interior, looking intently at a closed door. Drops of blood on the floor and a feather torn from a hat suggest that his master has been wounded. Steel gauntlets place the scene in the seventeenth century. Based on a picture exhibited at the British Institution in 1834.
