The Open Door

Signed with monogram and dated 1916
Oil on canvas 40 x 47 ins
Sir R W Buchanan Jardine's Greyhound, Long Span, won the Waterloo Cup in 1907. Beating Glenbridge to the finals, Long Span's win was the first Scottish victory since 1880. Riviere painted this tender portrait when both he and Long Span were coming to the end of their lives. The dog is shown in a quiet, reflective mood, which may have been the mood of the artist, whose life had not been all he would have wished for

The Card Game

Signed and dated 1885
Oil on canvas 27.5 x 36 ins
This painting typifies anthropomorphism depicted in art during the 19th century, when dogs were portrayed in the guise of humans. One's social standing was never far from the surface, even in art, and the cat, whose status at this period would be less than that of the dog, looks on questioningly at the Poodle who has just won a hand. The Pug also has some doubts, but the other dogs accept the inevitable
