Arctic Dog, Facing Left 

This is a charcoal drawing by English artist James Ward. Created in the 19th century, it depicts the head and shoulders of a dog. The dog is facing left, with its head tilted slightly downward. Ward’s quick, gestural lines and the use of charcoal create a sense of movement and life. The drawing is characterized by its strong, expressive lines that capture the animal’s form and features. Ward was known for his animal paintings, and his skill is evident in this drawing.
