About the Item
Antique Victorian English 19th Century, three Spaniel dogs in an Interior.
George Armfield was a mid-Victorian painter of mostly dog scenes but also painted other animal subjects such as interiors with huntsmen and simple well-painted landscapes.
He got his big break when Queen Victoria saw some of his work and commissioned him to paint a piece for her.
His work was collected throughout the world and held in many important collections. This piece is in excellent condition and if framed in a wonderful antique frame.
The Spaniel paintings by Armfield were possibly his most popular subjects and he painted many outstanding examples such as this one, with the three-color Spaniels being the most sought-after Armfield's.
This is a good example of his work and would have been painted during the middle of his career. Later in his life, his work became less sharp and he used a darker palette.
This is a perfect painting for almost any room in a home, like a bedroom, study, den, family room, hallway, dining room
The complementary colors for this piece are Beige, Brown, Green, Blue, off-white, black, red, gray, and white.
This type and quality of painting would have been painted for wealthy British patrons for either their country houses or their grand townhouses in areas in London like Mayfair, Belgravia Chelsea, and Kensington.

George Armfield
George Armfield was a British genre artist specializing in oil paintings of domesticated dogs. Armfeld professed a great love of animals, and his commissions of hounds and horses were in high demand in his lifetime. Preferring to paint hunting dogs over any other popular subject matter, Armfield’s broad, lively brush strokes captured the earthy colors of fur and grasses. Born George Armfield Smith in Wales in 1808, he was the son of portrait painter William Armfield Hobday, from whom he learned his craft. The precocious artist began his career at the young age of 16, when he exhibited his first painting at the Royal Academy: It was of Lion, a beloved Newfoundland dog. Today, Armfield’s work is included in the collections of the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool and the Glasgow Art Gallery in Glasgow, among many others. Armfield died in Clapham, England in August of 1893.

Late 19th/early 20th century oil on canvas painting in the manner of Abraham Hulk the Younger (1851-1922), this painting was acquired by Saltire Gallerie with a larger painting signed by Hulk the Younger, (just SOLD).

In the distance is a glimpse of a river and grasses, framed by trees and an overcast sky.

19th Century Scottish landscape oil painting of Highland sheep at Glen Coe
By William Watson
Located in Nr Broadway, Worcestershire
William Watson Jnr
British, (1847-1921)
Morning, Head of Glen Coe
Oil on canvas, signed & dated 1897, further inscribed verso
Image size: 12.5 inches x 18.5 inches
Size including frame: 19.75 inches x 25.75 inches
A superb Scottish landscape painting of Highland Sheep at the head of Glen Coe by William Watson. The sheep and their lambs are depicted grazing in the morning light with the dramatic mountains beyond. Glen Coe is a valley located in the Highlands to the North of the county of Argyll and close to the province of Lochaber. The area, which became infamous for the Massacre of Glencoe is one of Scotland’s most scenic Highland glens.
William Watson was born in Islington in 1847, the son of the London miniature painter William John Watson (1810-1871) and his wife Caroline (née Butcher). His brothers Charles Watson (1837-1900) and Robert Watson (1855-1921) were also artists. His father seems to have travelled around and after spending time in Brighton, the family moved to Bransford Road in Worcester during the early part of the 1860’s.
As well as being taught by his father, Watson received his early training in the studio of Sir Francis Grant PRA (1803-1878). He later became a pupil of Sir Edwin Henry Landseer RA (1802-1873) and Rosa Bonheur (1822–1899). Both Landseer and Bonheur had a great influence on his work and he began specialising in scenes of cattle and sheep. By 1866 he had become a full time artist and began exhibiting at the Royal Society of British Artists.
Perhaps to take advantage of the inspiring scenery, Watson moved to Birkenhead, Cheshire where in 1871 he met and married Eleanor Davies who was from Caernarvonshire. Four of their children Sidney Watson (1881-1931), Caroline Ellen Watson (1871-1947), William Robert Charles Watson (1873-1928) and Walter James Watson...
