About the Item

Léon Danchin (French, 1887–1938) Dog and Woodcock – Original Hand-Colored Etching This finely rendered hand-colored etching by renowned French artist Léon Danchin captures a moment of sporting grace and natural instinct. A poised hunting dog emerges from the tall grasses, proudly holding a freshly retrieved woodcock, its alert gaze embodying both loyalty and purpose. Danchin, celebrated for his mastery in depicting hunting dogs and game birds, brings extraordinary vitality to the scene through his delicate line work, rich detail, and subtle use of watercolor tints. The composition reflects Danchin’s deep familiarity with both the sporting tradition and the anatomy of working dogs, presenting not only a faithful likeness but also the noble character of the animal. His works, highly sought after by collectors of canine art and field sport enthusiasts, blend technical precision with an almost painterly romanticism, making them enduring classics in 20th-century sporting art. Elegantly presented in a period frame and matting, this etching exemplifies Danchin’s ability to celebrate the timeless bond between man, dog, and nature. Framed : 26”H 23"W 1"D Matted : 23.75" H 20.75" w Unmatted : 18”H 14.75”W About the artist : Léon Danchin (French, 1887–1938) was a renowned French animalier artist celebrated for his exquisite etchings and watercolors of dogs, game birds, and hunting scenes. Born in Lille, France, Danchin studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and quickly gained recognition for his remarkable ability to capture the vitality, anatomy, and spirit of sporting dogs. His works often depicted pointers, setters, spaniels, basset hounds, and retrievers in natural hunting environments, as well as pheasants, partridges, and woodcock. Danchin’s prints were typically hand-colored after etching, a technique that lent them both precision and warmth, and they became highly sought after by collectors, sportsmen, and canine enthusiasts. His art was widely distributed in France, the United States, and the United Kingdom, contributing to his international reputation. Today, his works remain prized not only for their technical mastery but also for their romantic evocation of the sporting tradition and the enduring bond between hunter and dog.
