Charles Jones is a British Romanticism artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

The English painter Charles Jones left behind quiet, small-scale oil studies of animals in the late 1800s. His Dogs at Play shows two terriers mid-tussle, brushwork loose enough to catch movement yet careful enough to keep each dog’s wiry coat distinct. These works sit in the borderland between academic animal painting and early realism, where every ear and paw was recorded directly from life.

Tap Dogs at Play to see how a few confident strokes can make fur feel warm and furry.
