VIXEN is a 1850 by Bryan Edward Duppa, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a black-and-white drawing of a dog’s head, seen from the side. Its ears are pointed, and its mouth is open like it’s barking or panting. The fur around its neck looks rough, and the eyes are dark and focused. The word “VIXEN” is written below it, which usually means a female fox—but this looks more like a dog. The artist’s name, Duppa, is signed in the corner. If you like animal sketches, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
The work titled *VIXEN* by Bryan Edward Duppa, dated 1850, depicts the head of a dog in profile, facing right, adorned with a collar. The image is printed on a sheet of paper marginally smaller than the plate impression, which was mounted onto a larger, thicker sheet.
