About the Item

Predominantly working for private patrons, Dalby is known for his sporting art, landscapes, and dog portraits. His father and teacher David Dalby was also a painter who specialized in equine art, and also painted landscapes and animals. This piece was most likely a commissioned work for one of his patrons. Dalby’s work is hard to come by because of the lack of exhibitions he held when he was still alive. In this image of the spaniel we can see his classic style and fine lines throughout the painting.

English 18th century portrait of a water spaniel dog standing in a landscape
By George Stubbs
Located in Bath, Somerset
Circle of George Stubbs (1724-1806). English 18th century portrait of a water spaniel standing in a wooded landscape. This charming painting is a wonderful example of the style of English dog painting made popular by artists such as George Stubbs and other sporting artists working in England in the 18th century who painted the dogs and horses of the aristocracy and wealthier classes. It follows in the ancient tradition of celebrating and commemorating our faithful canine companions through portraiture. Oil on canvas in a giltwood frame Provenance: Private collection, Somerset George Stubbs (1724-1806) was classified in his lifetime as a sporting painter, and as such was excluded from full membership of the Royal Academy. He is best remembered for his paintings of horses and his conversation pieces. Having studied anatomy, Stubbs's pictures of horses are among the most accurate ever painted. Stubbs was born in Liverpool, the son of a leather worker...
