Aldrich's Dog

Arthur B. Davies

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a dog sitting upright, facing left. The dog wears a spiked collar and holds a leash in its mouth. The dog's short fur is drawn in detailed, dark lines, and it has long ears that hang down and a patch of white fur on its chest. The breed could be something similar to a retriever. The background is mostly plain, tan paper with some simple thin lines.
