After Sir Edwin Henry Landseer British
Engraver Charles George Lewis British

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 a recent fight during which his owner was wounded. Steel gauntlets indicate that the scene is set in in the seventeenth century. Based on a Landseer's painting of 1834.
