I love how the line of the tail on this smart looking dog perfectly echoes the the bow of his back and curve of his belly, and with this perfect posture one might think he's about to win a medal! I prefer though to think he's just a handsome, very loyal, ever-ready companion, at this moment ready to head out for a long walk (or maybe just to go fetch the newspaper from the driveway!)

Signed Charles G. Martin Jr, 1926, black ink on cream paper, and in great condition, with a couple fragments of other sketches on reverse.
