About the Item

Dog Portrait "Willy and Lark" Impressionist Painting, Labrador and Terrier, Signed and Dated By British artist Marjorie Cox, Mid 20th Century Signed, dated '1977' and titled 'Willy and Lark' by the artist pastel on paper, mounted and framed Framed size: 20 x 18 inches Stunning original pastel painting by the highly regarded and well listed British dog artist, Marjorie Cox (1915-2003). The sweet Labrador and Terrier 'Willy and Lark' are a true example of a mans best friend, well loved and completely adored. The work is a wonderful example of this favourite English artist to the 'aristocracy of England' - who spent her working life immortalising the pets and animals of the English 'country set'. Marjorie Cox (1915-2003) was probably the last of the old school of provincial animal painters. A non-driver, she would wait until she had a quantity of commissions in a given area and then take the train to a central point. Once there she was transported around by her clients from one to another. With an average head study taking about two hours to complete, she was perhaps the most prolific of all the dog artists. During the ‘60s and ‘70s, at the height of her career, she estimated that she was completing some 700 paintings a year. She was still working towards the end of her life when she was averaging some 400 paintings a year. The majority of her commissions came from the ‘country set’ for pictures of their pets – black Labradors being the breed for which she received the most commissions. For a while from the mid ‘50s she also attended dog shows. She always claimed that her ‘studio’ was her sketch pad and two small boxes of pastels and armed with her ‘studio’ she would walk along the benches until she saw a dog which appealed to her and would then paint it. Although she did not ‘push’ the picture on the dog’s owner, few declined to buy it. Marjorie Cox came over as the archetypal ‘Miss Marple’; genteel, quietly spoken, always ‘sensibly dressed’ and to complete the picture lived in an idyllic wing of an Elizabethan alms house. Anyone who has the remotest interest in 'dog art' will be familiar with her pastel head studies. Condition report: The painting and frame are both in a very pleasing condition.
