"A Little Girl and her Sheltie" is a painting by the eminent English artist Charles Burton Barber (1845–1894), who specialized in creating images of pets and children that captured the Victorian era's sentimental view of childhood and animal companionship. Barber's work was highly regarded during his lifetime, and he enjoyed the patronage of Queen Victoria, who commissioned several paintings from him depicting her grandchildren with pets.

The painting "A Little Girl and her Sheltie" is characteristic of Barber's style, which often depicted children in idyllic settings with their animal companions, capturing moments of innocence and the special bond between pets and their young owners. In this work, Barber portrays a young girl in a serene moment with her Shetland Sheepdog, a breed known for its loyalty and intelligence. The Sheltie's attentive posture and the girl's gentle demeanor suggest a narrative of mutual affection and trust.

The composition of the painting, the use of light, and the detailed rendering of textures such as the girl's clothing and the dog's fur, are indicative of Barber's skill in portraying both the softness of childhood and the nuanced expressions of animals. The artwork serves as a testament to the Victorian era's romanticization of youth and the human-animal bond, themes that were central to Barber's oeuvre.

"A Little Girl and her Sheltie" continues to be appreciated for its technical mastery and its charming subject matter, and it remains an example of the genre of Victorian sentimental art. The painting is a reflection of the period's cultural values and is of interest to those studying the history of art, the representation of children and animals in art, and the social history of the Victorian age.
