"Startled" is an etching by the English artist Herbert Thomas Dicksee (1862–1942), known for his remarkable work depicting dogs, other animals, and scenes from Shakespearean plays. Created in 1901, this piece is exemplary of Dicksee's mastery in capturing the emotional depth and dynamic expressions of animals, particularly canines. The etching portrays a moment of sudden alertness, as suggested by the title, capturing the subject in a state of heightened attention, possibly in response to an unexpected disturbance or the presence of an unseen threat.

Herbert Thomas Dicksee's work is characterized by its fine detail, achieved through his skilled etching techniques, and "Startled" is no exception. The artwork reflects Dicksee's ability to convey texture and movement, as well as his understanding of animal anatomy and behavior. His works were widely popular during his lifetime, often appealing to the Victorian and Edwardian sensibilities of his audience, who held a deep fascination with nature and animals.

"Startled" is part of a larger body of work by Dicksee that contributed to his reputation as a leading animalier, an artist specializing in the portrayal of animals. The etching is a testament to the artist's dedication to realism and his anthropomorphic approach to animal subjects, which allowed viewers to connect emotionally with the depicted creatures. As with many of Dicksee's etchings, "Startled" would have been sold as a print, making fine art accessible to the burgeoning middle class of the time.

Today, Herbert Thomas Dicksee's works, including "Startled," are sought after by collectors and are held in various art collections. They continue to be appreciated for their artistic merit and as charming representations of the animal world through the lens of late 19th and early 20th-century British art.
