This portrait is not included in the catalogue raisonne of Sandys' work and is therefore a rediscovery. Canine companions occasionally appear in Sandys' work, including a pug puppy in the ironically-titled Kittie (Miss Ellen Ellis) of 1873 (Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool), a collie in the portrait of Cyril Flower of 1872 (private collection) and a dachshund in the portrait of his sons Conrad Herbert Flower and Violet Flower of 1885 (private collection). In 1875 Sandys made a study of pug named Sukey (Christie's, South Kensington, 8 November 2009, lot 102).
