Carl Suhrlandt
Portrait of a Cat and Dog - Victorian genre 1884 animal art oil painting

1884

About the Item

This superb Victorian animal portrait oil painting is by noted listed artist Carl Suhrlandt. Painted in 1884 it is a lovely portrait of a cat and dog in a living room at supper time. The detail of the interior is all at animal eye level - the carpet, corner of the fire place and newspaper hanging over the chair. It is a stunning large and very well painted oil on canvas and a fine example of his work and late Victorian genre oil painting and one of our favourites. The colours and brushwork are superb and the painting is beautifully finished off in a gorgeous frame. An irresistible painting for all cat and dog lovers. Signed lower left and dated 1884. Provenance. Midlands Collection. Condition. Oil on canvas, image size is 32 inches by 24 inches. Good condition. Housed in an ebonised patterned frame with gilt slip, framed size is 42 inches by 34 inches and in good condition. Carl Suhrlandt (1828-1919) was born into a family of artists, the son of Rudolf Friedrich Carl Suhrlandt (1781-1862), a painter, lithographer and draughtsman, and Wilhelmina Suhrlandt, a lithographer. He was a pupil of Ary Scheffer in Paris. From 1859-1860, he worked in Copenhagen, and then moved to St. Petersburg where in 1861 he became a member of the Academy. He finally settled in Schwerin where he worked as a professor at the Art Academy. Most of his paintings depict animals with a preference for horses and dogs. He made several visits to England where he painted similar works commissioned by the aristocracy- a typical title of this work would have been “In the Kennel” (1885 oil on canvas). His work is held by the Museum in Schwerin with a piece entitled “Galileo in prison”.

  • English 19th century portrait of two seated King Charles Cavalier Spaniels dogs
    By James Cassie
    Located in Woodbury, CT
    James Cassie was born at Keithhall near Inverurie, Aberdeenshire, the son of a prosperous tea and spirit merchant. Although briefly a pupil of the artist James Giles, Cassie was largely self-taught. He began his career as a painter of animals and portraits, but on moving to Aberdeen he increasingly turned his attention to local seascapes and coastal scenes, especially at dawn and sunset. He favored these outdoor scenes but continued to paint some domestic subjects and portraits throughout his life. In 1869 he moved to Edinburgh and was elected an associate of the Royal Scottish Academy. Shortly before his death in 1879 he was elected an Academician.
