About the Item

Early 20th century English portrait oil of a Falcon hunting bird in a landscape. George Anderson Short was an English painter of Animal, Hunting scenes, and often interior scenes of taverns with huntsmen resting after a tiring day. He painted in the Yorkshire area of the UK and many of his paintings can be found in this area. This is a very interesting strong portrait of a standing Falcon Bird of Prey. The artist has captured the magnificent strength of the bird and with his use of bold brushstrokes, he has painted a very desirable and decorative painting. This piece is an oil on artists board. The piece has been framed in an amazing antique English burr Maple frame. It is an outstanding piece.
