Original Description
Edward Armfield’s Eager Terriers Outside A Rabbit Hole (+ Excited Terriers On The Scent; Pair) captures the spirited essence of hunting dogs in mid-19th-century Britain, a theme beloved in Victorian animal portraiture. The painting brims with kinetic energy as the terriers, rendered with precise anatomical detail, strain against the earth, their bodies coiled in anticipation. Armfield’s realistic style—honed under the influence of Sir Edwin Landseer—shines in the textured fur, expressive eyes, and dynamic composition, which balances tension with whimsy. This work exemplifies the era’s fascination with anthropomorphized animals and rural pursuits, bridging fine art and sporting traditions. While not as widely recognized as Landseer’s grander canvases, Armfield’s terrier studies remain prized for their vitality and charm, offering a glimpse into the intersection of naturalism and narrative in Victorian art.
For a refined yet lively interior, this pair of paintings would elevate a study, library, or country-style living room. Their rich earth tones—burnt siennas, olive greens, and warm browns—complement traditional wood furnishings or vintage leather accents. Opt for gilded or walnut frames to enhance their classic appeal, and hang them at eye level flanking a fireplace or beside floor-to-ceiling bookshelves to create symmetry. In a modern office, they add warmth and character when paired with neutral walls and minimalist decor, their energy subtly enlivening the space. A midsize format (around 24x30 inches) ensures visibility without overwhelming, making them ideal for intimate settings where their narrative detail can be appreciated up close.
