"A Water Spaniel" is an oil painting by Swiss artist Jacques Laurent Agasse (1767–1849), known for his animal and landscape paintings. Agasse, who spent a significant part of his career in England, was celebrated for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of the animals he depicted. This particular work, "A Water Spaniel," exemplifies Agasse's skill in rendering the texture of fur and the liveliness of his subject. The painting portrays a water spaniel, a type of dog known for its proficiency in water and retrieving game, in a naturalistic setting that highlights the animal's elegance and the serenity of its environment.

The composition of "A Water Spaniel" showcases the spaniel in a moment of repose or alertness, with its features and wet coat rendered in fine detail, suggesting the dog's recent activity in water. Agasse's use of light and shadow, as well as his nuanced color palette, contributes to the lifelike appearance of the spaniel and the immersive quality of the scene.

While the exact date of creation for "A Water Spaniel" is not well-documented, it is representative of Agasse's work during his time in England, where he gained patronage among the British aristocracy and animal enthusiasts. The painting is reflective of the 19th-century European fascination with natural history and the trend of commissioning portraits of prized animals, which Agasse catered to with his artistic expertise.

"A Water Spaniel" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the genre of animal painting in the early 19th century. It stands as a testament to Agasse's reputation as one of the foremost animaliers (animal painters) of his time and offers insight into the cultural values and interests of the period in which it was created. The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be appreciated by art historians and enthusiasts for its technical proficiency and its charming portrayal of a beloved animal companion.
