"Playful Terrier and Kittens" is a 19th-century oil painting by American artist John Henry Dolph (1835–1903), dated to around 1880. Dolph, who is best known for his genre paintings featuring domestic animals, particularly cats, created this work during a period when such sentimental animal subjects were popular in American and European art. The painting depicts a charming domestic scene in which a terrier dog is surrounded by a litter of playful kittens, capturing a moment of interspecies interaction that is both whimsical and endearing.

The composition of "Playful Terrier and Kittens" showcases Dolph's skill in rendering animal fur and expressions, as well as his ability to convey the personalities of his animal subjects. The artist's attention to detail and use of lighting contribute to the lifelike quality of the scene. Dolph's work often reflects the Victorian era's fascination with the natural world and the growing trend of keeping pets as part of the family, themes that are evident in this painting.

While not as widely known as some of his contemporaries, Dolph's contributions to American art, particularly in the genre of animal painting, have been recognized by art historians and collectors. "Playful Terrier and Kittens" is an example of his enduring appeal and the charm of his subject matter, which continues to resonate with audiences today. The painting is a testament to the 19th-century cultural context in which it was created, reflecting the sentimental and often anthropomorphic portrayal of animals that characterized much of the period's popular art.
