"An Anxious Moment" is an 1878 painting by the British artist Briton Rivière (1840–1920), who was known for his expertise in depicting animals with human-like emotions and situations. This work exemplifies Rivière's skill in combining animal portraiture with narrative, often imbued with a sense of sentimentality and drama that was popular during the Victorian era.

The painting portrays a domestic dog, possibly a shepherd or a hunting breed, standing on a rocky outcrop and gazing intently into the distance. The dog's body language and the painting's title suggest a state of anticipation or concern, possibly awaiting the return of its master or watching over a flock. The landscape in the background is rendered with atmospheric perspective, adding to the mood of the scene.

Rivière's attention to the anatomical accuracy of the dog and the emotional resonance of the scene reflects the Victorian fascination with the natural world and the attribution of human emotions to animals. "An Anxious Moment" is a testament to Rivière's ability to capture the complex relationship between humans and animals, a theme that resonated with audiences of his time and contributed to his popularity as an artist.

As a member of the Royal Academy of Arts and the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours, Rivière's works were widely exhibited and acclaimed. "An Anxious Moment" continues to be recognized as a significant example of his artistic legacy, capturing the Victorian era's spirit and its artistic trends. The painting is part of a broader body of work by Rivière that explores the emotional lives of animals, a subject that remains of interest to art historians and the public alike.
