Richard Westall's illustration for William Cowper's poem "The Dog and the Water Lily" is a notable example of early 19th-century British book illustration. Richard Westall (1765–1836) was an esteemed English painter and illustrator, renowned for his contributions to literary and historical subjects. His work often graced the pages of books by prominent authors, including Lord Byron and Sir Walter Scott. Westall's collaboration with William Cowper, a leading poet of the 18th century, highlights the intersection of visual art and literature during this period.

"The Dog and the Water Lily" is one of Cowper's lesser-known poems, yet it encapsulates his characteristic blend of gentle humor and keen observation of nature. The poem tells the story of a dog who, in his playful curiosity, disturbs a water lily while swimming. Cowper uses this simple narrative to explore themes of innocence, beauty, and the natural world, elements that Westall captures with his illustrative skill.

Westall's illustration for this poem is marked by its delicate attention to detail and its ability to convey the poem's serene yet lively atmosphere. His use of line and shading brings the scene to life, depicting the dog's animated movements and the tranquil beauty of the water lily. The illustration not only complements Cowper's text but also enhances the reader's experience, providing a visual entry point into the poem's themes.

This collaboration between Cowper and Westall exemplifies the synergy between poetry and illustration in the Romantic era, where visual art was often used to deepen the emotional and aesthetic impact of literary works. Westall's illustration for "The Dog and the Water Lily" remains a testament to his artistic talent and his ability to translate poetic imagery into visual form, enriching the cultural tapestry of the period.
