Cocker Spaniel drawing by Cecil Charles Windsor Aldin RBA (English, 1870-1935) A rare graphite and watercolour with white heightening of Cocker Spaniel in begging pose by Cecil Charles Windsor Aldin RBA (English, 1870-1935). Signed bottom left "Cecil Aldin". A preparatory drawing for a published work or periodical such as The Illustrated London News or The Sketch for whom Aldin illustrated.
Note the artist's purposely placed watercolour blob, as the artist's aid on which to focus the dog's gaze.
This Cocker Spaniel in light-hearted humorous pose was clearly modelled / inspired by Aldin's Sealyham Terrier neighbour, "Slickerson", when the artist was living in Reading. Aldin famously remarked that "Slickerson" spent most of his upright and begging by the front door until he was let in.
