Mother dog and her puppies, 19th Century French Barbizonf armhouse painting

circa 1870

About the Item

An charming 19th century dog painting depicting a mother dogue and her exuberant topsy turvy pups by the farmhouse barns or cowsheds , with a young child given them a fuss! Dating from ca 1860-70, the oil on canvas is unsigned, but bears on the verso a rather special stamp from colour and artists supplies merchant Paul Durand-Ruel (1831-1922). Paul Durand-Ruel is known as the legendary art dealer who launched, almost single handedly, the Impressionist movement. He represented Monet, Pissarro, Sisley, Renoir in his Paris, London and New York Galleries. Like his father Jean Marie Durand, Durand Ruel had started as both a merchant of art supplies, and dealer. Often, these two activities overlapped, as he would supply cash strapped artists who left paintings as security. Paul Durand Ruel was one of the first to discover Barbizon artists such as Théodore Rousseau, and represented Camille Corot. It is in this context that the painting presented here, likely to have been painted by a Barbizon artist, can be situated. Measured without the more recent frame, the size of the canvas is just under 20 x 24 inches.
