"A Reserved Seat" is an oil painting created in 1901 by the British artist Briton Riviere (1840–1920), who was known for his animal paintings and historical subjects. The artwork depicts a domestic scene featuring a dog sitting on a chair, seemingly waiting for its absent owner. The painting's title suggests a sense of loyalty and expectation, as the dog appears to have reserved the seat for someone special, likely its master. Riviere's skill in capturing the emotional depth and individual personalities of animals is evident in this work, as the viewer can sense the dog's patient vigil.

Briton Riviere was a celebrated artist of his time, and his works often combined his love for animals with his academic training and classical influences. He was a member of the Royal Academy of Arts and enjoyed considerable success during his lifetime, with his paintings appealing to Victorian sensibilities and their love of sentimental and narrative art.

"A Reserved Seat" is characteristic of Riviere's style, which is marked by a fine attention to detail, realistic portrayal of animals, and an ability to convey narrative through his subjects. The painting is a testament to the enduring bond between humans and their pets, a theme that remains relatable to contemporary audiences. As with many of Riviere's paintings, this work would have resonated with the Victorian audience's fascination with fidelity and the human-like qualities of animals.

While the painting itself is not as widely known as some of Riviere's other works, such as "Sympathy" or "Requiescat," it nonetheless represents an important example of his artistic output and the cultural values of the period in which it was created. "A Reserved Seat" continues to be appreciated by art enthusiasts and animal lovers for its technical proficiency and its poignant representation of canine loyalty.
