"Sympathy" is a notable painting by the British artist Briton Rivière, completed in 1878. Rivière, renowned for his evocative and often sentimental animal paintings, captures a poignant moment of shared emotion between a young girl and a dog. The painting is a striking example of Victorian-era art, reflecting the period's fascination with the human-animal bond and the expression of empathy.

In "Sympathy," Rivière depicts a young girl seated on a step, her face buried in her hands, clearly in distress. Beside her, a large, loyal dog sits attentively, its head gently resting on her lap, offering silent comfort. The composition of the painting emphasizes the emotional connection between the two figures, with the dog's presence providing a sense of solace and companionship. The use of light and shadow, as well as the detailed rendering of the dog's fur and the girl's clothing, showcases Rivière's technical skill and his ability to convey deep emotion through his subjects.

The painting was well-received in its time, resonating with audiences who appreciated its tender portrayal of empathy and the comforting presence of animals in human lives. "Sympathy" exemplifies Rivière's broader body of work, which often explored themes of loyalty, compassion, and the intrinsic bond between humans and animals. The painting remains a beloved piece in Rivière's oeuvre, celebrated for its emotional depth and artistic excellence.

"Sympathy" is housed in the Tate Britain, where it continues to be admired by visitors for its touching depiction of a universal human experience. Rivière's ability to capture such intimate moments with sensitivity and precision has cemented his reputation as one of the foremost animal painters of the 19th century.
