Original graphite pencil drawing by American artist and illustrator Theodore E. Schrock (1879–1952), depicting a Rough Collie in a lifelike head study. Executed on toned paper with subtle white highlights, the portrait captures the breed's intelligent expression, elongated muzzle, erect ears, and abundant flowing coat with confident, economical pencil work.
Signed and dated 1949 in the lower left, this drawing demonstrates Schrock's mastery of canine portraiture through carefully observed anatomy, delicate tonal transitions, and expressive detail. The simplified composition places full emphasis on the Collie's graceful features, making it an excellent example of mid-century American sporting and companion dog illustration. Likely created as a breed study or commercial illustration.
