Edward Aistrop
Edward Aistrop, Victorian oil painting of a terrier's head

About the Item

A beautifully painted character study of a terrier dating from the Victorian era. Edward Aistrop specialised in such intimate portraits of dogs and clearly held them in great affection, managing to convey their personality and giving them sense of dignity with their profiles set against a dark background. This is a particularly fine example of the artist's work in very good condition. Edward Aistrop (working 1880-1920) Study of a terrier Inscribed to the reverse, " Jimmy Mace" 9¼ x 9¼ inches without the frame 15¼ x 15¼ inches with the frame Edward Aistrop was a painter of dog portraits who worked in the latter part of the 19th century. He was amongst a band of artists who fulfilled the demand of wealthy patrons by providing a record of their favorite animals and champions. He painted in a similar style to artists such as Arthur Wardle and John Alfred Wheeler. His skill in painting animals earned him many commissions from pet owners and dog breeders. Many of his works were head studies and portraits often produced on a small scale.
