Dignity and Impudence

Edwin Landseer, 1802–1873 · 1839

Two dogs looking out of a kennel — a big calm bloodhound and a small lively terrier. Painted in London.

Why it's great for language

Two animals, one big and calm, one small and cheeky — perfect for A1 animal words and easy comparatives ('bigger / smaller / quieter').

A gentle note

Edwin Landseer's work fits animals, comparatives, describing people better than "present simple". Try one of those focuses, or pick another artist from the gallery.
