Jacob Cox was trained as a tinsmith, a trade that he followed for a time even after he began painting in the early 1840s.
Cox received many portrait commissions but found more personal enjoyment in painting landscapes.
The carefully depicted pet and the image of leisure activity combine to create an engaging impression of the boy’s personality and interests.
