"Tick-Tack" is a painting created in 1881 by the British artist Briton Rivière, a prominent figure in the Victorian art scene known for his evocative animal paintings. Rivière, born in 1840, was celebrated for his ability to imbue animals with a sense of emotion and narrative, often placing them in human-like situations that resonated deeply with viewers of his time. "Tick-Tack" is a quintessential example of Rivière's skill in this regard.

The painting depicts a domestic scene featuring a young girl and a dog engaged in a game of tick-tack, an early form of the game we now know as tic-tac-toe. The girl, dressed in Victorian attire, is seated at a table, her attention focused intently on the game board. Opposite her, the dog, a large and attentive companion, appears to be equally engrossed in the game, its paw poised as if ready to make a move. This anthropomorphization of the dog adds a layer of charm and whimsy to the painting, inviting viewers to imagine the animal as a thoughtful participant in the game.

Rivière's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the textures of the girl's clothing, the fur of the dog, and the various elements of the room, which are rendered with a high degree of realism. The warm, soft lighting enhances the intimate atmosphere of the scene, creating a sense of coziness and tranquility. The artist's use of light and shadow not only highlights the central figures but also adds depth and dimension to the composition.

"Tick-Tack" reflects Rivière's broader artistic interests in exploring the relationships between humans and animals, a theme that recurs throughout his body of work. The painting was well-received in its time, appreciated for its technical excellence and the gentle humor it conveyed. Today, it remains a beloved example of Victorian genre painting, showcasing Rivière's unique ability to capture the subtle interactions between people and their animal companions.
