there's a little rembrandt in paintings by william hobbs, and fans and spectators always look for in his work. rembrandt is the nickname of the little jack russell terrier that often appears in williams railway paintings. it's a nod to the master rembrandt, who placed a similar dog, darkly lit, in his most famous painting, "the night watch". but in hobbs's paintings, the dog doesn't scurry around musketeers in plumed hats and sashed waists but around old steam engine trains and train stations.
