Arthur Wardle exhibited extensively at the Royal Academy, and is one of Britain’s most accomplished dog portrait artists. His works are celebrated for their rich detail, animation, and superb understanding of anatomy and movement, as well as his ability to capture personality and character.
This painting of a Pomeranian called ‘Magpie’, captures the texture and vibrancy of the dog's long, healthy, flowing coat, with delicate, confident brushstrokes. Magpie’s keen gaze highlights Wardle’s ability to infuse character and presence into his subjects. The neutral background emphasises the form of the Pom, drawing attention to its elegant posture, refined features and breeding.
