Early 20th Century Spaniel Dog Portrait "Odin" after Edwin Landseer

c.1913-1917

About the Item

Substantial and period portrait of a beautiful spaniel done in charcoal signed "Lee" on verso, c.1913-1917. Although this is by an unknown artist it is an excellent example of Philadelphia Sketch Club quality drawing. Displayed in a distressed black vintage wood frame with mat. Image, 11"H x 13"W; frame dimensions 17"H x 19"W x 1"D. Phildelphia, PA. Gallery and Frame Makers label on verso. Based on the address and history we know the drawing to be 1913-1917. Founded by Adolph and George Newman in 1865, Newman Galleries opened its first location at 806 Market Street. A separate carriage house kept a team of horses which pulled an elaborate display and delivery cart throughout the streets of Philadelphia. They then moved to 1704 Chestnut Street (1893-1918) and continued the tradition at 1732 Chestnut Street (1918-1935). Designed and built by the Newman, the fourth location, 1625 Walnut Street, was conceived in 1935, where they have operated for 81 years.
