Watercolour of a Black Labrador Retriever - Signed

This framed watercolour painting features a detailed portrait of a seated black Labrador Retriever, a subject often captured by British canine artists like this one signed by Richard King. The artist uses a delicate yet effective application of the medium to build the rich, dark tones of the dog's coat, contrasting it against a soft, atmospheric background that transitions from muted blues and greys to warmer earthy tones near the base. The dog's pose is attentive and Stoic, with a soft expression in its brown eyes and a simple collar adding a touch of realism to the character-driven work. Presented in a traditional double-mat and a simple dark wood frame, the piece exemplifies the classic style of pet portraiture, focusing on capturing the loyal and gentle nature of the breed through careful observation of light and texture. In very good condition.
