EDITORS COMMENTS
Study of Mickie: A Regal Irish Wolfhound in Repose, by Cecil Aldin (1874-1935) This photograph print, dated 1932, showcases the elegant and majestic presence of Mickie, an Irish Wolfhound, as he takes a moment of relaxation in a plush armchair. The image, titled "Study of Mickie," is a testament to the artistic prowess of renowned English painter and illustrator, Cecil Aldin. The 1930s, a period of significant social and cultural change, served as the backdrop for this timeless image. The era, often referred to as the "Golden Age" of dog painting, saw a surge in the popularity of canine portraits, with Irish Wolfhounds being a favorite subject due to their regal appearance and storied history. Mickie, with his striking coat of red and white fur, gazes intently at the viewer with his expressive eyes, exuding a sense of calm and tranquility. His massive size and powerful build are softened by his gentle demeanor as he rests his head on the arm of the chair, inviting a sense of connection and warmth. Cecil Aldin, a master of capturing the essence of animals, expertly conveys the unique character and personality of Mickie in this study. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow, combined with his attention to detail, brings the Irish Wolfhound to life in a way that transcends the boundaries of a mere photograph. As we gaze upon this image of Mickie, we are transported back in time to an era of elegance and charm, where the simple pleasure of a dog's companionship was cherished and celebrated. This historical photograph print is not only a beautiful addition to any home or office but also a reminder of the enduring bond between humans and their canine companions.
