Portrait of Caesar, Ashley terrier
in property of Mrs Campbell of “…..” castle
Painted by WS Rose
September 1856
A very refine work for this charming portrait of a dog; certainly a commissioned painting from his mistress, the chatelaine Mrs Campbell to the artist.
The painter was able to render the liveliness of the gaze of the pet. His coat is painted with a light and removed touch.
William S. Rose is a British painter of landscapes, portraits and genre scenes.
