About the painting
One of these wire-haired terriers has a ram's horn snuff container and wears a Scottish bonnet, while the other has a clay pipe in its mouth and wears a lady's cap. A critic observed that the artist 'gives them all the intelligence of the canine nature' but 'never plays with the falsehood of a fanciful or humanised expression'.
