"Ratting" is a notable painting by the British artist George Armfield, who is renowned for his depictions of animals, particularly dogs. Armfield, whose full name was George Armfield Smith, was active during the 19th century and is celebrated for his ability to capture the essence and character of his subjects with remarkable detail and realism.

The painting "Ratting" exemplifies Armfield's skill in portraying dynamic scenes involving animals. It typically features a group of terriers engaged in the act of ratting, which was a popular sport in Victorian England. The sport involved dogs hunting and killing rats, and it was both a form of pest control and entertainment. Armfield's work often reflects the cultural practices of his time, and "Ratting" is no exception, providing insight into the period's social and recreational activities.

In "Ratting," Armfield's attention to detail is evident in the lifelike representation of the dogs, their fur, and their expressions, which convey a sense of action and intensity. The composition of the painting draws the viewer's eye to the central action, while the background elements are rendered with enough detail to provide context without detracting from the main focus. The use of light and shadow in the painting enhances the three-dimensionality of the scene, adding to the realism for which Armfield is known.

Armfield's works, including "Ratting," are appreciated for their technical proficiency and their ability to evoke the lively spirit of the animals he depicted. His paintings are part of various private collections and occasionally appear in art auctions, where they are sought after by collectors who admire his contribution to animal portraiture. "Ratting" remains a testament to George Armfield's legacy as a master of animal painting and a chronicler of Victorian life.
