Leaders of the Pack: The Women of The Royal Kennel Club Art Collection

An exhibition showcasing over 120 works by more than 100 female artists who used canine portraiture to achieve professional independence.

The exhibition tells the story of how women found an unlikely route to professional independence across three centuries: painting dogs. It features works spanning painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, and medals. The collection traces the arc of female emancipation in Britain from the Victorian era to the present day.
