"A Bay Horse with a Terrier 1845" is an oil painting by the British artist Thomas W. Bretland (1802–1874), known for his animal and equestrian subjects. The painting, dated 1845, depicts a bay horse, characterized by its reddish-brown body color with black mane, tail, and lower legs, standing alongside a terrier, a small, determined dog breed known for its hunting skills. Bretland's work captures the essence of the Victorian era's fascination with the natural world and the close relationship between humans and their animals.

The composition of "A Bay Horse with a Terrier" is typical of Bretland's style, which often included detailed and lifelike portrayals of animals, set against a backdrop that suggests a naturalistic setting. The painting reflects the artist's keen observation and ability to render the textures of the animals' coats and the play of light upon their forms. Bretland's work was appreciated during his time for its contribution to the genre of animal painting, a tradition that was particularly strong in the United Kingdom during the 19th century.

Thomas W. Bretland, born in Nottingham, was a pupil of the landscape painter John Rawson Walker and later established himself as a successful artist in his own right. His works were exhibited at the Royal Academy and the British Institution. "A Bay Horse with a Terrier 1845" is one of Bretland's many works that reflect his dedication to capturing the character and beauty of animals, and it remains a testament to his skill and popularity as an animalier, a term used to describe artists specialized in the portrayal of animals.

The painting is of interest not only to art historians and enthusiasts of Victorian art but also to those who study the cultural significance of animals in society. It serves as a window into the 19th-century British perspective on animals, particularly the roles they played as companions and helpers in daily life. While the current location of the painting and its provenance are not specified in this introduction, "A Bay Horse with a Terrier 1845" continues to be recognized as an important work within Thomas W. Bretland's oeuvre and the broader context of British animal painting.
