"Haven't We Met Before?" - A Hound Inspecting A Wall-mounted Fox-mask is a notable painting by the British artist William Strutt, who was active during the 19th century. Strutt, born in 1825 and passing in 1915, was known for his detailed and often whimsical depictions of animals and rural life. This particular work exemplifies his skill in capturing the essence and character of his subjects, blending realism with a touch of humor.

The painting features a hound, rendered with meticulous attention to detail, as it curiously inspects a fox mask mounted on a wall. The scene is imbued with a sense of narrative and playfulness, as the hound appears to be puzzled or intrigued by the mask, which is a clever artistic device used to evoke a sense of irony and anthropomorphism. The fox mask, a symbol of cunning and trickery, contrasts with the hound's earnest and straightforward demeanor, creating a visual and thematic juxtaposition that invites viewers to ponder the relationship between the two animals.

Strutt's use of light and shadow, as well as his precise brushwork, brings a lifelike quality to the painting, making the textures of the hound's fur and the mask's surface almost tangible. The composition is carefully balanced, with the hound positioned in a way that directs the viewer's gaze towards the mask, emphasizing the focal point of the interaction.

This painting is a fine example of Strutt's ability to infuse his works with personality and narrative depth, making it a cherished piece among art enthusiasts and collectors. It reflects the Victorian era's fascination with animals and their behaviors, as well as the period's broader artistic trends towards realism and detailed observation of the natural world.
