"Dash, Colonel Thornton's Terrier, in a Wooded Landscape" is an 18th-century oil painting by the English artist Sawrey Gilpin, who specialized in animal and landscape paintings. The artwork depicts Dash, a terrier owned by Colonel Thomas Thornton, an English sportsman and writer, set against a backdrop of a richly detailed wooded landscape. Sawrey Gilpin (1733–1807) was known for his ability to capture the vitality and character of animals, and this painting is a testament to his skill in rendering the textures of fur and foliage with a lifelike quality.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its representation of the relationship between humans and their pets in the 18th century, as well as the social status of the owner, which is implied by the commissioning of such a portrait for his dog. Colonel Thornton was a prominent figure, known for his extravagant lifestyle and passion for hunting and fishing, which is reflected in the choice of his dog as the subject for a portrait by a notable artist of the time.

The painting is an example of the artist's mature style, where he combines his keen observation of animals with a harmonious composition of the natural setting, demonstrating his contribution to the genre and his influence on subsequent artists.

The painting is part of a larger body of work by Gilpin that captures the essence of English country life and the natural world, making it of interest to art historians, collectors of sporting art, and enthusiasts of British cultural heritage.
