The dictionary adds, "His pictures usually have sentimental titles", e.g. 'A Coveted Bone', 'The Old Man's Darling', 'Home Sweet Home' etc.". According to an obituary notice in 1899, "in thousands of homes throughout England one may see his work. Perhaps the most popular of all his productions is the picture entitled 'Cause and Effect', a study of some puppies frightened by a soda-water bottle which has burst." In addition to being a popular painter of animals, Trood was well known as an Orientalist. For several years he travelled in the east and Africa, amassing a collection of arms and armour. Trood worked in Chelsea for many years. He died of pneumonia in Taunton, aged 39.
