The spaniel, painted in creamy white hues with deep brown markings, gazes outward with bright yellow eyes full of life and expression. Around its neck hangs a gold collar and chain, rendered with the artist’s characteristic care and precision. The dog sits proudly upon a dark brown mantlepiece, framed by dusky pink walls that recall the welcoming comfort of a Victorian parlour — an affectionate nod to the interiors where such ornaments once stood sentinel.

Balancing reverence and wit, Rix breathes new vitality into this classic motif, uniting folk tradition and fine art craftsmanship in one beautifully composed work.

While striking as a standalone piece, this left-facing spaniel is designed to pair perfectly with its right-facing companion print, which is available separately. Displayed together, the two form a symmetrical and harmonious duo, celebrating Britain’s lasting affection for the Staffordshire dog.

Each print is housed in a hand-painted brown wooden frame with a gilt inner edge, carefully finished and assembled by the artist himself. The reverse features a collage of authentic antique papers, each piece individually hand-signed by Matt Rix, ensuring that every framed work is entirely unique. The arrangement of vintage pages varies, making each print one of a kind.

Printed on premium 350gsm art paper, the work captures the richness and warmth of the original painting in faithful detail. Each framed print is hand-signed on the reverse by the artist as a mark of authenticity and craftsmanship.

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