About the Item

Chihuahua: Champion "Larkwhistle Macaroon" by Dorothy Alexandra Johnson (1902-1988) unsigned but a title note in the artist's hand is attached inside the hinged mount oil painting on canvas, unstretched - affixed to stiff backing card 3.6 inches diameter, mount 9 x 9 inches Delightful painting by the highly regarded English dog artist Dorothy Alexandra Johnson. It depicts "Larkwhistle Macaroon", a champion Chihuahua, born in 1970. This is a much later painting by this artist than the rest of her collection we have, and is in a very different type of mount / matting. This one is unsigned but the mount is hinged with a strip of tape and a title plate is affixed inside, written in the artist's own hand. This work forms part of a collection we currently hold by Dorothy Johnson. It is small but beautifully executed. On unstretched stiff canvas, it has been neatly backing card-mounted. Dorothy Alexandra Johnson was born in 1902 in Nottingham, England, and remained there her whole life. Attending the Nottingham School of Art and having studied under Arthur Spooner, a respected animal artist, it is no surprise that her work from the 1930's focused entirely on art relating to dogs, recording images of many significant canine breed champions. condition report: Very clean, good clear strong colour, this has been stored for many years, never on display. No creases or paint loss.
