About the Item

Abraham COOPER Canvas Size: 28 x 36" (70 x 90cm) Outside Frame Size: 38 x 46" (95 x 115cm) A fantastic example of Cooper's work. A piece on a grand scale suitable for any keen sporting enthusiasts wall. The beautifully drawn horse painted in tandem with the hound creates a wonderful bond and atmosphere. The figures in the background painted in red give great depth and fabulous punctuations of colour. It is not clearly signed but this is not uncommon with Cooper's work. 1787 – 1868 One of the best known of English Sporting artists from the first half of the 19th Century, he was largely self-taught and received a great deal of encouragement from the well-known sporting artist Benjamin Marshall. He was largely known for his horses but did paint some dog portraits. His attention to detail and high finish and naturalist colouring characterises his works. Several well-known artists studied under him, including Frederick Herring and William Barraud. He was elected to the Royal Academy in 1817, where he was known as ‘Horse’ Cooper and exhibited there from 1812 until his death with a total of 332 paintings.

'Spaniel and Sleeping Cat' , Unknown, Oil on Canvas Painting, 19th c.
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
This classic English school 12 x 16 in. Oil on Canvas framed painting features a pet Spaniel and cat resting on a desk in a home study environment. The dog is seated, its body facing the right side of the painting while its head is facing the viewer at the picture plane. The Spaniel has a long haired black and white patterned coat. Its long ears are black and curly and face is mostly black with an area of white fur on its head and a strip of the white down the nose and into the chin. The stomach and legs/paws are mainly white, while his back and tail are both black, although its full body is not visible. The domestic cat is depicted sleeping to the right of the dog, both positioned on a green desk. The cat is sleeping horizontally with the composition, its head on the left and its curled up body and tail on the right. The cat has mainly grey fur with patches of white on its nose, neck and the one leg and one paw that is visible to the viewer. The edge of the green desk, closest to the picture plane, meets with the bottom edge of the work and the left edge of the green table is only partially visible as the further half is cut off by the left side of the canvas. The desk is an olive green color and takes up the foreground of the piece. On the desk next to the cat is just a small corner of a singular document that reads "Young America" and then below that a couple of flourishes/ ornamental lines and the date, "1872." Behind the document, on the desk, are five standing books and two stacked books. The books appear to be up against the back wall that is depicted in the work, next to a hung landscape painting. The largest standing book's title is "Natural History," a greenish/blue hardback book with a maroon red strip where the title and author's name is on the book's spine. A smaller book standing on the right of "Natural History" is a copy of "Robinson Crusoe," a darker green hardback with a strip of silver for title and author upon the spine. To the left of "Natural History" is an untitled book and to the left is a copy of "Arabian Nights," a tan hardback with red/orange at the title and author's name. To the left of "Arabian Nights" is another untitled book. The two books laid on the desk, on the right side of the standing books, are both tan/light brown books...
