Paws for Thought Bookmark

A Jack Russell, sitting bolt upright against a field of warm yellow, giving you the full unblinking stare. Anyone who has ever owned a terrier will know that look: it means something is about to happen, and you are probably going to be involved.

Sarah Campbell painted it with a lovely loose hand — you can see the brush in the scruffy chest and the soft tan ears — and the result has far more personality than a tidier portrait would. Campbell is one of Britain's best-known pattern and textile designers, with a long career behind her, and she brings a painter's eye to everything she does.

At 48 × 162mm with a yellow ribbon marker, it lies flat in any book. An easy, cheerful gift — for a dog owner, a terrier person especially, a reader who likes a bit of company on the page, or anyone who'd smile at finding it tucked inside a birthday card.

Come and see the full Museums & Galleries range in the shop — there's always more on the shelves than we can fit online.
