White Scottish Terrier by P. Buckley Moss is part of the beloved Moss Dog Collection, a series that pays tribute to the faithful companionship and charm of our canine friends. This signed and numbered limited edition lithograph captures the dignified beauty of a white Scottish Terrier, rendered with Moss’s signature tenderness and simplicity. With its flowing coat, bright eyes hidden beneath wisps of fur, and noble stance, the terrier is lovingly set within a circular frame that evokes a window into nature. Behind the dog, subtle strokes of soft greens and blues hint at trees and open skies, offering a tranquil backdrop that enhances the portrait’s gentle character.

The background is minimalist, painted in muted tones that allow the dog to remain the true focal point. Moss’s round vignette composition draws the viewer inward, creating a feeling of intimacy—as though one is catching a quiet moment with a beloved pet. Each print in this collection has been carefully hand-signed by the artist and bears its unique number, adding to its authenticity and collectability.
