Borzoi Study, 1930, by Cecil Aldin

Borzoi Study, 1930, by Cecil Aldin A single borzoi stands in profile, its long silver-and-white coat rendered in loose chalk and charcoal strokes against a bare tan ground, a red collar the only note of color. The sketch was later reproduced in Aldin's 1934 sketchbook collection Just Among Friends, capturing the breed's elongated form and quiet alertness with an illustrator's economy of line.

Artist: Cecil Aldin (British, 1870-1935). Date: 1930.
