Catalog Record | Enlarged Image | Adopt a Gift Book Home

Another scene from Edwin Landseer depicting his favorite subject, dogs. Here, a young boy sits in front of a barrel of hot liquid holding a spoon. The dogs eagerly await their share, but the young boy scolds “It’s too hot” and points with his finger.

Adopted by Uncle Peter Walther in honor of Charlotte Coatney
