Islay Legging is an engraving by Thomas Landseer, an English artist known for his engravings and animal paintings. The work depicts Islay, a Skye Terrier belonging to Queen Victoria, engaging in the playful act of tugging on a gentleman's trouser leg. Thomas Landseer, the younger brother of the famous painter Sir Edwin Landseer, was often engaged in creating works that featured animals with human-like expressions and characteristics, a style that was popular in the Victorian era.

Islay was a favored pet of Queen Victoria, and the depiction of the dog in such a spirited interaction would have been appealing to the Victorian audience, who were known for their love of domestic animals and sentimental portrayal of pets. The engraving showcases Thomas Landseer's skill in capturing the texture of the dog's fur and the dynamic movement of the scene, reflecting his ability to convey both the physicality and the personality of the animal subjects he portrayed.

The artwork serves as an example of the anthropomorphic approach to animal representation during the 19th century and contributes to the understanding of the cultural context in which pets were not only companions but also subjects of artistic creation. While the exact date of the engraving's creation is not specified, it is likely to have been produced during the height of Thomas Landseer's career, when his works were regularly exhibited at the Royal Academy and other prestigious venues.

Islay Legging is part of the broader legacy of the Landseer family's contribution to British art, particularly in the genre of animal painting and engraving. Thomas Landseer's works are considered significant for their technical proficiency and their role in popularizing animal subjects in art during the Victorian era.
