The Totteridge XI

The Totteridge XI is an 1897 oil on canvas work by English painter Arthur Wardle.

The painting shows eleven of Francis Redmond's Smooth Fox Terrier show dogs, although the artist remarked several years after creating it that the dogs were significantly closer to the breed standard in the painting than they were in real life.

The Totteridge XI was painted by experienced animal painter Arthur Wardle, and was commissioned by Fox Terrier breeder Francis Redmond.
