Original Description
Harry Rowntree's A Pekingese is a charming early 20th-century illustration that captures the regal yet endearing presence of the Pekingese dog, a breed historically treasured by Chinese nobility. Painted in a delicate yet expressive style characteristic of Rowntree—a noted British illustrator and cartoonist—the artwork balances fine detail with a touch of whimsy. The Pekingese, with its luxuriant mane and poised expression, exudes an almost imperial dignity, set against a softly rendered background that enhances its stature. Rowntree’s work reflects the Golden Age of Illustration (late 19th to early 20th century), where artists merged realism with decorative appeal, often for books and magazines. While not as widely recognized as some contemporaries, Rowntree’s pieces, including A Pekingese, hold a niche appeal for their warmth and precision, particularly among admirers of animal portraiture and vintage illustration.
For interior styling, A Pekingese would elevate a traditional or eclectic space—think a luxe study, a refined sitting room, or even a boutique hotel lobby. Frame it in an ornate gold or gilded wood frame to complement its vintage charm, or opt for a simpler black lacquer frame for a modern contrast. The painting’s warm, earthy tones (rich browns, creams, and soft blues) pair well with oriental-inspired decor, velvet upholstery, or muted botanical prints. A medium-to-large size (around 24x36 inches) allows its details to shine without overwhelming the room. Place it as a focal point above a console table or fireplace, accompanied by brass accents or blue-and-white porcelain to echo its palette. In an office, it lends sophistication to executive spaces, harmonizing with dark wood furniture and leather finishes.
