Oil on canvas in the original giltwood frame. An endearing naïve portrait of a child and his pet dog. The artist has managed with the human figure but depicting the dog has stretched his talent to the utmost. A charming touch is that the sitter is wearing a pair of toy spurs; perhaps they were a new acquisition and he insisted on wearing them...they certainly feature strongly. SIZE: 36.5 x 30.25 inches inc. frame. PROVENANCE: A Kent country house. Internal Ref: 8932
Portrait of a Young Boy and His Dog c.1850: English Provincial School.
