Fox-hound and Pups is a 1885 watercolor by John Sargent Noble, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a tired black-and-white foxhound lying on the ground with four small pups clustered around it. The background is a simple, light-colored wall with a few faint lines, and the floor looks like rough wood or stone. The artist used quick, loose strokes to show fur texture and movement. The pups are still wet, with some water droplets visible near them. This suggests the artist might have been sketching from life or memory, focusing on natural poses.
