About the painting
Rustic scenes such as this one, showing a Donkey and Spaniel contemplating each other, became popular in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
Cooper was known for painting horses. His understanding of animals' character and anatomy can be seen in this depiction of the donkey. The inclusion of everyday objects like jugs and bottles the rustic convey the rustic theme of the work. At the same time these objects demonstrate Cooper's ability to paint both animate and inanimate things.
