Yorkshire Terrier by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

“Yorkshire Terrier” by P. Buckley Moss is a signed and numbered limited edition giclée from the beloved Moss Dog Collection. This charming portrait captures the elegance and personality of one of the world’s most adored toy breeds—the Yorkshire Terrier. Seated gracefully with its silky coat flowing to the floor, the little dog gazes directly outward, exuding confidence and charm. A jaunty red bow with white polka dots ties back its fine hair, adding both character and a touch of playful style.

Moss’s composition celebrates not only the physical beauty of the breed but also its spirited nature. Yorkies, though small, are known for their bold personalities, making them a delightful paradox of elegance and tenacity. The circular format of the artwork enhances its intimate, portrait-like quality, drawing the viewer closer to admire both the dog’s refined features and Moss’s delicate brushwork.

Style & Technique

As with all of her animal portraits, Moss brings warmth and affection into “Yorkshire Terrier.” Her giclée technique ensures exquisite detail, from the flowing texture of the Yorkie’s coat to the soft interplay of light on its fur. The background—painted in layers of blue and yellow—provides a lively, modern contrast to the dog’s natural coloring, allowing the subject to stand out prominently. The circular framing adds a contemporary touch while keeping the focus firmly on the personality of the Yorkie itself.

Moss’s signature style combines folk-art simplicity with expressive detail, resulting in a portrait that feels personal, timeless, and full of character.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of “Yorkshire Terrier” is playful, affectionate, and joyful—much like the breed it depicts. Yorkshire Terriers originated in 19th-century England, where they were first bred as small but fearless working dogs to control rodents in textile mills. Over time, their beauty, loyalty, and intelligence brought them into homes as beloved companions. Today, Yorkies are prized for their devotion to their families, their lively personalities, and their ability to blend toughness with elegance.

Moss captures this dual nature perfectly: a small dog with a big presence, full of dignity yet brimming with playful charm. For Yorkie owners and admirers, this giclée serves as both a tribute and a keepsake.

Placement & Gift Ideas

This artwork makes a delightful addition to a variety of settings. It would look perfect in a living room, hallway, or cozy nook, where its cheerful presence can brighten the space. For dog lovers, especially Yorkie owners, it is a meaningful piece that celebrates the special bond between humans and their four-legged companions.

“Yorkshire Terrier” also makes a thoughtful gift—ideal for birthdays, housewarmings, or anniversaries, particularly for anyone who adores this spirited breed. Collectors of Moss’s Dog Collection will also find this to be an essential piece, representing one of the most popular and recognizable breeds in the world.
