Antique Animal Paintings For Sale on 1stDibs

There is a broad range of antique animal paintings for sale on 1stDibs. A selection of these works in the Old Masters, Impressionist and Modern styles can be found today in our inventory. These items have been made for many years, with versions that date back to the 18th Century alongside those produced as recently as the 20th Century. If you’re looking to add antique animal paintings that pop against an otherwise neutral space in your home, the works available on 1stDibs include that feature elements of brown, black, gray, orange and more. Many versions of these artworks are appealing in their rich colors and composition, but John Emms, John Frederick Herring Jr., George Armfield, Arthur Wardle and George Edwards produced especially popular works that are worth a look. Each of these unique pieces was handmade with extraordinary care, with artists most often working in paint, oil paint and fabric. Some antique animal paintings are too large for some spaces — a variety of smaller iterations, measuring # 0.1 inches across, are available.

How Much are Antique Animal Paintings?

The average selling price for antique animal paintings we offer is $5,354, while they’re typically $121 on the low end and $358,263 for the highest priced.

Finding the Right Animal Paintings for You

Animal paintings depict the beauty and power of nature in an elegant way that can complement any room. Interacting with animals has long captured the imagination and has been interpreted in diverse artistic media.

Some of the oldest works of art have included animals, such as a cave painting found in Indonesia dating back more than 45,500 years that shows a wild pig in red ocher pigment. Animals have continued to appear in every era and style of art, from realism to Pop art and everything in between.

Some paintings portray animals in their natural habitat, highlighting the majesty of wild creatures roaming the plains, forests and jungles. These paintings often feature deer, tigers, wild mustangs and other wildlife. Others focus on domestic animals such as dogs — pay a visit to the Museum of the Dog if you don’t believe us — as well as cats and how they interact with the world and their owners.

Picking the right animal painting for a room — as well as knowing how to arrange your new wall art — can take time. But, in the end, it will tastefully reflect your interests and passions. While an expansive landscape painting helps open up a small space, hanging a horse painting in a den shows a love for equine culture and can invite interesting conversation.

There is animal art to fit every collection on 1stDibs. Explore a wide selection of animal paintings and animal prints in a range of styles and designs to match any home or office.

Questions About Antique Animal Paintings
