About the Item

This striking mid-century oil painting captures the essence of the bulldog with remarkable character and presence. Seated on a lawn, he exudes a sense of sturdy confidence, his powerful frame and distinctive wrinkled features rendered with careful attention to form and texture. The artist conveys the dog’s characteristic jowls, muscular build, and watchful expression, as he guards a well-chewed bone. The background, created with palette knife, contrasts with the finely detailed bulldog, which has been executed with a paintbrush. The foliage beyond is loosely defined, allowing the subject to dominate the composition, while the white upper section of the canvas gives a sense of openness and balance. The artist’s distinct monogram, visible in the lower right corner, suggests a professional hand, but has been difficult to ascertain.

Painting of an English Bulldog by George van Herwaarde
Located in Esbeek, NL
This painting of a bulldog features a happy dog who celebrates a 50th birthday with a cake. It’s a very decorative painting with a beautiful frame . The artist is George van van Herwaarde (1938-2011) was born in Haarlem, where he photographed the youth scene in and around club Xeno. His serious photography career began as an assistant to fashion photographer Hans Dukkers in 1957. In the 1960 group portrait of Dutch photographers for De Telegraaf by Paul Huf, he is still literally on the sidelines. After a full-page of his free work in Haarlems Dagblad in 1962, he decided to establish himself independently as a fashion, advertising and, to a lesser extent, portrait photographer. George van Herwaarde...
