1880’s

About the Item

Here we have a great portrait of a Yorkie Terrier, signed to its lower left, 'Sister Phoebe' and stamped with a dogs paw. This is a great example of 19th century pet portraiture as it serves as a symbol of sentiment and class. It was a sign of wealth and social standing to have one's dog painted. Only those from the upper strata could afford such luxuries in the 19th century. Purebred dogs were frequently included in these photos, highlighting the owner's sophisticated taste and capacity to care for pricey, well-bred pets. 19th C. American Yorkie Portrait Oil on canvas. Signed lower left. Sight size 20x16 inches With frame 24.5x22.5 Good condition. Canvas has been relined. From a Private New York Collection.
