"Little Pets" is a notable work by the British-American artist Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait (1819–1905), who was renowned for his depictions of the American wilderness, animals, and rural life. Born in Liverpool, England, Tait emigrated to the United States in 1850, where he became closely associated with the Hudson River School, a mid-19th century American art movement embodied by a group of landscape painters influenced by romanticism. Although Tait's broader oeuvre aligns with the themes of the Hudson River School, his work, including "Little Pets," often focuses more intimately on animals and genre scenes, setting him apart with a distinct niche.

"Little Pets" exemplifies Tait's keen interest in capturing the everyday interactions between humans and animals, showcasing his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to render both with a lifelike quality. The work is characteristic of Tait's genre scenes, which frequently depicted children and domestic animals in rural settings, reflecting a sentimental and idyllic view of country life in America during the 19th century. These subjects were popular among the American public and collectors, resonating with contemporary cultural and social values that idealized rural life and its perceived purity and simplicity.

Tait's technique in "Little Pets" and similar works demonstrates his mastery of oil painting, with a particular emphasis on the accurate representation of animal fur and feathers, as well as the naturalistic portrayal of landscapes and human figures. His ability to capture the texture, movement, and expressions of animals highlights his deep observation and appreciation of nature, a hallmark of his artistic legacy.

Throughout his career, Tait produced a significant body of work that contributed to the documentation and romanticization of American rural and wilderness areas, making him an important figure in the history of American art. "Little Pets" stands as a testament to Tait's skill and his dedication to themes that celebrate the bonds between humans and the natural world, embodying the spirit of an era that found beauty and virtue in the simplicity of country living.
