Original Description
"Two Borzois" by R. Ward Binks captures the elegant grace of these aristocratic Russian hounds with remarkable sensitivity. Painted during the early 20th century when sporting dog portraits were particularly fashionable among British aristocracy, Binks's work stands out for its combination of anatomical precision and atmospheric subtlety. The twin borzois are depicted with flowing silhouettes against a muted background that suggests an English country estate, their slender forms and intelligent expressions rendered with delicate brushwork that shows influence from both Victorian animal painting and emerging Impressionist techniques. This artwork represents an important transition in animal portraiture - maintaining traditional aristocratic commissioning values while embracing more painterly, modern approaches. The painting holds significance in sporting art history for its exemplary representation of breed characteristics and its embodiment of Edwardian-era sporting culture.
For interior decoration, this work would elevate spaces with classic or transitional aesthetics. Its ideal placement would be in a study lined with leather-bound books, above a Georgian-style partners desk where the hounds' aristocratic bearing complements traditional wood tones. The painting's predominantly earth-toned palette coordinates beautifully with Farrow & Ball's "Mouse's Back" or similar heritage paint colors. In contemporary settings, frame it in a slender gilt frame to bridge traditional and modern elements. The recommended hanging height places the dogs' eye level at average human sightline (about 150cm from floor) to create visual dialogue. For larger reception areas, consider a companion piece - perhaps a landscape with similar tonal values - displayed opposite to establish rhythm. In offices, position it where clients can admire it during conversations, as the borzois' dignified posture subtly communicates refinement and attention to detail.
