Alfie 

"Alfie" is a charming painting by Lucia Heffernan, a contemporary artist known for her whimsical and humorous portraits. The painting depicts a white dog, dressed in a bowler hat, monocle and holding a cane, in a seemingly human-like pose. The dog's thoughtful expression and dapper attire create a playful juxtaposition of animal and human traits, inviting viewers to consider the nature of identity and perception. The inclusion of a robin perched on a bench behind Alfie further adds to the whimsical atmosphere of the piece. The style of the painting, which incorporates realistic details with a touch of cartoonish exaggeration, is indicative of Heffernan's unique artistic vision.
