The piece portrays a right-facing Staffordshire dog, affectionately known as a wally dog, seated with quiet dignity — a classic emblem of 19th-century domestic charm.

Rendered in creamy white tones with deep brown markings, the spaniel’s bright yellow eyes are full of character and gentle expression. Around its neck rests a gleaming gold collar and chain, a nod to the ornate detailing of antique Staffordshire pottery. The dog sits upon a rich brown mantlepiece, set against dusky pink walls that evoke the warmth and intimacy of a traditional parlour — nostalgic yet quietly sophisticated.

Rix’s subtle brushwork and finely balanced composition bring renewed vitality to this cherished icon, bridging folk heritage and fine art with affection and grace.

Striking and complete as a standalone piece, this right-facing spaniel may also be paired with its left-facing companion print, available separately, to form a perfectly symmetrical and harmonious display — a contemporary celebration of Britain’s enduring love for the Staffordshire dog.

Each print is presented in a hand-painted brown wooden frame with a gilt inner edge, individually prepared and finished by the artist. The reverse is lined with a collage of genuine antique papers and hand-signed by Matt Rix, making every framed work a unique collector’s item. As each collage is created individually, the selection and arrangement of vintage pages will vary.

Printed on high-quality 350gsm art paper, the piece captures the depth and warmth of the original painting in rich, true-to-life colour. Each framed print is hand-signed on the reverse by Matt Rix, ensuring authenticity and a personal connection to the artist.

The framed print measures approximately 46cm x 36cm overall, presented under glass and ready to hang.
