A fine and highly detailed portrait in pastel of a jack russell, a beagle and a tabby cat 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 in the lower right hand corner. Well presented in a washline mount and a wooden gilt effect frame, as shown. Signed and dated and inscribed. On laid.
Condition
The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration and minor surface dirt. There are some signs of restoration on the mount. There are some scuffed edges to the frame.
