One of his paintings of a dog in a landscape, same size as this one, sold at Christie's in 2006 for more than $4000. The setter is gazing at birds flying in the distance, in a landscape setting. Natural surroundings in a landscape English style, is so prominent in 19th century portraits of horses and prized dogs. This painting is in very good vintage unlined condition. The frame is contemporary in vintage style, gold on wood. There is a nameplate with the artist's name, John Sutcliffe. Presents very well, and would be an excellent addition in a study, library, dining room or living room.

English early 19th century painting of a chestnut hunter in a landscape
By John Ferneley Senior

Oil on canvas in a giltwood frame. John Ferneley Sr (1782-1860) was born the son of a Leicestershire wheelwright, the youngest of six children.
