GEORGE (SMITH) ARMFIELD
This is a classic example of George Armfield's paintings with terriers.
Picture Size: 10 x 14" (25 x 35cm)
Outside Frame Size: 16 x 20" (40 x 50cm)
Exhibition Period 1836 – 1875
He was born and worked in London
He was a painter of dogs, especially terriers chasing birds, cats of mice. In addition, he painted landscapes, game birds and other wild animals. These he painted mainly in oils, although he was an excellent pencil sketcher and water-colourist.
His work is much better than some people thought in his time. In fact, they were often mistaken and sometimes passed off as those that had been painted by Landseer. Also many of his works were sought after by engravers to work with. For example, his paintings ‘Three Against a Fox’, ‘The Country Life’, and ‘For Always’ were engraved by Tomkins, ‘The First Lesson’ was engraved by Bateman and ‘The Experience’ by T. Lucas.
His work was, and still is, copied by many other artists and animal painters, but the quality that was Armfield shines out like a beacon.
He changed his name from George Armfield Smith to George Armfield in 1840
George had 3 relatives who also painted dogs; Edward Armfield who painted terriers, Emily who also painted terriers in barn and landscape scenes and his brother, William Armfield Smith

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.
