Gentleman Of Character By Cecil Aldin
Gentleman Of Character By Cecil Aldin
Cecil Aldin Dog Print, Gentleman Of Character.
A classic example of Cecil Aldin's canine work, Gentleman Of Character reflects the artist's deep affection for dogs and his remarkable ability to capture their individual personalities. The subject is a shaggy black terrier, seated upright with a characteristic tilt of the head and a wonderfully expressive face conveying intelligence, curiosity and dignified self-assurance. The background is minimal and softly sketched, allowing the terrier's personality to take centre stage. Aldin's talent for conveying character through posture and expression is beautifully demonstrated in this charming study, which has appeared over the years under various titles, including Gentleman Of Character and Who Said Policeman. Presented in its original period frame.

In good original condition, retaining its period charm. The original frame has a few small chips along the lower edge, consistent with age and use, while the lithograph paper shows some light crinkling. These minor signs of age do not detract from the character and appeal of this charming Cecil Aldin print.
