John Emms Portrait Paintings

British, 1843-1912

John Emms first exhibited in the Royal Academy in 1866. Known for his equestrian and canine portraits, his most interesting works were the dogs, with a particular fondness for foxhounds and terriers. Using bold, loose brushwork and ample paint, Emms created portraits that were sentimental and that expressed vitality.
