Finely detailed image of ten English foxhounds and one terrier resting on their kennel bench. One hound is lying on the floor in front of the bench while the rest are lying or sitting on the bench. A hound on the left side of the painting is exchanging looks with the terrier. The terrier has a drop of drool spilling from its mouth as does the hound lying on the bench directly above the one on the floor. The dogs are finely detailed, and you can see the wrinkles, muscles and bony knuckles and shoulders. The dog's fur is detailed with tiny brush strokes. The straw in front is bright and golden yellow, then fades away too dark in the background.Artwork Details
