Head Study of a Dachshund - Alfred Wheeler
The liveliness of the Head Study of a Dachshund, revealed through Alfred Wheeler's art
In this Head Study of a Dachshund, Alfred Wheeler captures the attentive expression of the dog with economy of means and great precision of gaze. The work favors a warm palette — browns, ochres, and touches of white — that highlights the fur and the texture of the nose, while the technique shows soft and sensitive brushstrokes. The atmosphere is intimate and realistic: one perceives the personality of the dachshund as much as its physiognomy, in a close composition that concentrates emotion on the face.
Alfred Wheeler, master of animal portraiture
Alfred Wheeler is part of the tradition of animal portraiture, where naturalistic observation meets a refined pictorial approach. Influenced by field studies and drawing academies, he favors study formats to explore anatomy and expression without the constraints of large decorative formats. His works, often dedicated to hunting dogs and small companion dogs, helped renew interest in sensitive realism at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. This Head Study of a Dachshund illustrates his skill in capturing the animal's soul while mastering technique and light.
