Title: The Dog in the Manger
Period: 1850-1900;
Geographic: London; Ancient Greece; United Kingdom
Description: On the left side of the image, a dog is in an Ox’s manger hidden in the hay. He has both his front paws on the border of the manger as he sticks his head out. His mouth is slightly open, and his nose is wrinkled back as though he is snarling. In front of the dog, to the right of the image, the upper body of an ox is visible. The ox is looking directly at the dog with anger in his white-glowing eyes as he cannot eat since the dog is in there. Behind them, the walls are made of brick-like materials.
