Label: SAFE! / FROM a note on this drawing we learn that it was sketched at Oatlands / in 1838: it much resembles in style some of the artist's earlier drawings. / For instance, there are strong points of resemblance between it and / "The Intruder," a well-known picture produced in his eighteenth year. / One cannot fail to notice the admirable contrast between the gravely expectant eye of / the old spaniel and the sprightly eagerness of the terrier. Slight as are the touches / by which the cat's face is figured, there is enough to indicate that she is not quite / satisfied as to the safety of her resting-place. / Why should so noble-looking an animal as this spaniel condescend to hurry after / or wait upon the insignificant object of his anxious looks? Truly this is another / of those nature portraits which carry Landseer's fame home to the unlearned and / uneducated in all parts of our country! / The original drawing is in the possession of John Fowler, Esq., C.E.; it has not / yet passed through the hands of any other engraver than Mr. C. G. Lewis. //
Inscription: C. G. LEWIS, SCULP.T //
