Born in Glasgow, Samuel Fulton was well known for his truthful depictions of dogs and horses. Here, he records a terrier and her puppy nestled on a bed of hay. Despite a limited colour palette, Fulton has cleverly differentiated the coarse hay from the soft fur of the animals by scraping away at the paint.
