EDITORS COMMENTS
Two enchanting sketches of an Irish Wolfhound named Mickie, beautifully rendered by renowned English artist Cecil Aldin in 1939. These captivating illustrations showcase the grace and elegance of this ancient Irish breed, which has been admired for its majestic appearance for centuries. The first sketch depicts Mickie in a thoughtful pose, resting his massive head on his paw as he gazes off into the distance. His expressive eyes convey a sense of wisdom and introspection, while the intricate details of his coat and facial features showcase Aldin's exceptional skill as an artist. The warm, earthy tones of the sketch add to the sense of tranquility and comfort, making it a delight to behold. In the second sketch, Mickie is shown lounging in an armchair, his large body taking up most of the space. Despite his size, he appears relaxed and at ease, with one paw casually resting on the armrest and his chin propped up on his other paw. The playful expression on his face and the gentle curve of his lip suggest a mischievous personality, adding to the charm of this beloved breed. These sketches offer a glimpse into the history and character of the Irish Wolfhound, a breed that has captivated artists, writers, and animal lovers for generations. Cecil Aldin's skillful depictions of Mickie serve as a testament to the enduring appeal of this majestic and gentle giant.
