Sketch of a dog is a 1790 watercolor by James Ward, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolour painting shows a dog standing on a plain surface, facing left. The dog has a dark coat with lighter fur on its chest and legs, and its tail is curled up. The dog's shadow is cast on the ground behind it, suggesting a light source from the right. The background of the painting is a plain, light-coloured surface. The painting is a charming example of an animal portrait from the Romanticism movement. To learn more about this style, look up the Romanticism movement.
