More about this artwork
"Two Huskies" by Samuel Howitt (circa 1817) is an enthralling watercolor that captures the essence of two creatures, whose features resemble those of foxes more closely than huskies. The painting portrays these two animals with a keen attention to detail and nuanced shading, enhancing their lifelike appearance against a subdued, natural backdrop.Each animal is depicted with a rich, tawny coat and attentive eyes, suggesting a moment of alertness or contemplation. The setting includes a rocky outcrop and lush vegetation, contributing to a sense of place and environment that encapsulates the lives of these creatures in their natural habitat. Overhead, a hint of muted foliage and the soft wash of the sky provide a serene balance to the composition, highlighting the artist’s skill in creating harmony between subjects and their surroundings.
