Label: THE CAVALIER'S PETS. / THE two Blenheim spaniels here represented belonged to the late Mr. / Vernon, at whose request the picture was undertaken. A rough sketch / of the dogs was made during a visit of the artist to him at his residence / in Pall Mall, but nothing further was done for some time. At last / Mr. Vernon met Landseer one day in the street, and reminded him of his promise. / Two days later the picture was sent in completed. / This is often quoted as an instance of Landseer's power of working rapidly; for, / hasty as the execution must have been, no one has yet been able to point out any / want of care in the finish. The extremely natural and lifelife expressions of the / heads are very striking. / The picture was exhibited at the British Institution in 1845 as "King Charles' / Spaniels:" it is now in the National Gallery, having been presented to the nation / by R. Vernon, Esq., in 1847. It was first engraved by John Outrim in 1850, and / afterwards by A. Lucas in 1875. //
