EDITORS COMMENTS
Cecil Aldin's iconic painting, "The Bully," captures the playful yet tense dynamic between two beloved English breeds: the Sealyham Terrier and the English Bull Terrier. Painted in 1936, this artwork showcases the moment of confrontation between Cracker, the English Bull Terrier, and Woggles, the Sealyham Terrier, on a cozy living room sofa. The Sealyham, with its distinctive wiry coat and expressive eyes, cowers in fear as the larger Bull Terrier looms over him, teeth bared and ears perked up in aggression. The Bull Terrier, with his muscular build and menacing stance, seems poised to pounce. Despite the intimidating scene, there is a certain charm to this painting that makes it endearing rather than alarming. The playful expression on Cracker's face and the submissive position of Woggles add to the lightheartedness of the moment. This image of friendly rivalry between two breeds is a testament to the unique bond that can exist between dogs, even in the midst of playful aggression. Cecil Aldin, a renowned English painter, expertly captured the essence of these two breeds and their relationship in this painting. The use of warm colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, making it a must-have for any dog lover or art collector. This print is a reminder of the joy and companionship that dogs bring into our lives, even in the most unexpected moments.
