A dead bloodhound lying on a rug next to a helmet and a loom. Coloured lithograph after E. H. Landseer. Wellcome Collection. Public Domain Mark. Source: Wellcome Collection.
There is more than a hint of rigor mortis in the dog's stiff legs, and a general decrepitude not inconsistent with death
The dog lies on a thick rug, a helmet and a medieval-style loom in the background
The picture represents Countess, a bloodhound belonging to Jacob Bell. After the dog's death, Bell took the carcass to Landseer to paint it
