"Lost a Chinese Bull Puppy £ 10 Reward" is a humorous sketch by the British artist Henry William Bunbury, dating from 1770-1810. The artwork, housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a man struggling to manage three dogs, all of which appear to be small and nondescript. The man's exasperated expression, combined with the notice for a lost "Chinese Bull Puppy," suggests the absurdity of the situation, capturing the witty satire that Bunbury was known for. The rapid, gestural lines of the drawing contribute to the sense of chaos and movement, adding to the playful depiction of the scene.
