A fine and highly detailed portrait in pastel of a pair of Dachshunds by the well-listed animal portraitist Marjorie Cox (1915-2003). Cox captures intricate expressive features of well-loved pets, and this work is a prime example. The artist's technique is masterly, layering varying tones in order to produce a vivid and arresting realist portrait. Cox utilises the substrate in order to enhance texture and form, alongside fine detailing in the whiskers and eyes, producing a glassy effect that is highly skilled in this medium. Signed and dated tothe lower margin. Presented in a simple wooden frame. Signed and dated. On laid.
