Good Doggie
A dog leans against the arm of sofa with its front paws pressed together. The work represents Lady Charlotte Murchison's favorite dog Ulick, referred to by Frank Buckland in his memoir of Lady Murchison as the "well-known inhabitant of Belgrave Square." The print is based on a picture exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1850.
