Cassell was known for his animal paintings, particularly scenes of terriers, which were popular in Victorian England. The scene is full of movement and tension, as some of the terriers are intently focused on the task, while others are mid-pounce. The use of warm browns and golden tones enhances the barn's earthy feel. The brushwork gives texture to the dog's fur and the barn's straw. Wood frame with gilt inner molding. Painting is signed by artist in the right lower corner. See less
