This painting shows two greyhounds standing in a forest. They are both white, with one looking to the left and the other to the right. The dog on the right is slightly behind the other, and they both have collars around their necks. The background is dark, with some trees and bushes visible. The dogs are the main focus of the painting, and they are depicted in a realistic style. The artist has paid close attention to the details of their fur and facial expressions. The use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. The painting is held at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
